Editing xorg.conf requires an X-server restart after each setup change, which 
is ridiculous. In the end, I do not care which means a tool uses to set up the 
screens, whether it's xrandr or that nvidia-specific way. I just want it to 
work, without the need to restart anything. And for everything except for 
NVidia cards, xrandr is the way to go ;-)

I just tried again. Neverball is now working fine, however from the three 
Windows games I tried, only one started, the others showed no useful content 
on screen. So, I have to stick with the closed-source driver for now :(

The driver is not the issue though, xrandr works the way it is supposed to, as 
far as I can tell. I just want to take some action when a monitor is 
connected, which xrandr does detect, it just does not tell me. That's all :D

Kind regards,
Ralf
