Ken, glad to help. :)

That was perfect! It works great now at reboot.....

I had seen that as an option before, but it was in a much older thread and was not sure if it still applied to the current version of LL. Obviously it still works great. Oh yes, and this PCIe video card performs MUCH better with video playback than the older PCI nvidia I had in here previously.....video is now smooth and seamless. Thanks again.  ;D

Use arandr

--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install arandr
--- End code ---
Once installed start it from the menu or command line

--- Code: ---arandr
--- End code ---

 Move the monitors to the desired position using drag and drop.
When you're done, select Layout > Apply
The changes are not saved and will be lost once you logout/restart the computer.
To make them permanent, from the Arandr menu select Layout > Save As, enter a name for this layout and save it.
This creates a script under ~/.screenlayout
Add this script to your startup items:
Session and Startup > Applications Autostart - click "Add", under "Name" enter whatever you want and under "Command", enter the exact path to the script created.
for examplee ~/.screenlayout/screenlayout.sh

Hi Misko and thanks for the link.....this is the procedure I have been using to set the monitors. The problem is that the settings don't "stick" or stay after a reboot. The monitors revert back to mirrored after a reboot and I have to reset the dual monitor setup every time the computer restarts.

I need to know how to get these settings to be permanent........

There is a section in the manual on dual monitor setup
