I am going to be picking up a second monitor this afternoon, and I am wondering how easy it will be to set up. Can I just run the nVidia xorg configure command and will that do most of it for me? I also noticed there are different methods of using 2 monitors. Is twinview the best or should I look at something else?

I think twinview is independent of your WM. I use twinview with KDE but it also worked with i3. I recommend twinview for dual monitor use. It can be setup with nvidia-settings.

Twinview works fine, although I find it falls down when I try to run a fullscreen game in Wine. You can configure the second monitor in the nvidia settings gui, although to save them to your xorg.conf you need to run it as root.

GUI works fine and i always run nvidia-settings as root.
su -c 'nvidia-settings'
or just apply a alias
alias nvidia-settings='su -c 'nvidia-settings''
Good Luck!

alright thanks guys. Is there a way to use feh to only set 1 image per screen or do I need to edit my own picture?

The easiest way to setup your second monitor is lxrandr.

I'm not sure with feh, but nitrogen works well for 2 monitors.
