Hi, I've recently installed 10.04 on a dual screen machine. I use Twinview Via Nvidia drivers to stretch a single desktop across both monitors. As a result, drawing in GIMP becomes very difficult, as proportions are likewise stretched out. Under windows, I would simply configure the tablet and restrict it to a single monitor. But under Ubuntu 10.04, this has proven quite challenging. I've studied the question, and the obvious solution is to add the ScreenNo option to Xorg.conf. The problem is, Xorg.conf now seems a dated concept, no file being present by default under 10.04.

I've tried to generate one using sudo Xorg -configure, but end up with:

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.


According to:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config

I can simply write a simple xorg.conf file and Xorg will apply my script to the WACOM when loading. Trouble is, the one I've written up seems to be completely ignored. I'm rather inexperienced with xorg.conf, so perhaps I'm missing something in the file itself. Any advice?

Thanks for any possible insight. Here's the .Conf file's content so far:
