Hey all!

I have a problem with my dual screen setup.
I use the nvidia-binary driver for my GeForce 8600M GT and so far everything works as expected. I created my xorg.conf through the nvidia-settings tool and then modified it to fit my needs. The X-Server is configured to work with the mode "Seperate X Screens".
Now the problem is when i shutdown the computer, unplug the external monitor and start the computer again, the X-server won't start up and crashes (Need to restart the computer by hand). When i plug the external monitor back in, everythings works normal.

Does somebody have an solution?

Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:
