how to reset dual display to one screen from command line?

Question

How can I reset dual display to one screen from command line and set old second screen as main display? (12.04 + nvidia)

see [this question on a similar topic](http://askubuntu.com/questions/6521/how-can-i-reconfigure-the-nvidia-proprietary-drivers-from-the-command-line-ssh), and the docs for [NvidiaMultiMonitors](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors) and [DynamicMultiMonitor](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicMultiMonitor). — Eliran Malka, Oct 25 '12 at 11:57
you'd probably want to check out the [`nvidia-xconfig` man page](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/alt-nvidia-96-xconfig.1.html) as well. it's all there. — Eliran Malka, Oct 25 '12 at 12:00

I would recommend installing disper, a command line display manager.

Then you can do disper -S to make secondary only, or disper -e -t left to extend to the left for example.
