problems with second monitor and nvidia-settings during boot

Hallo,
I have on my Laptop an additional Monitor (HP 2475) connected(HDMI). Any strange effects during boot prozess (boot splash Standard openSuse). Mysystem is OS 11.1 with KDE 4.2
I have installed the proprietary nvidia-driver 180.20.
After the driver-installiation I have done follows:

sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia

The affects during the boot-act you can see on this picture

It seems a short time before the login menu - after login during boot-splash a second time.

I have configured the second moitor with nvidia-settings. On priciple the configuration operate-but the boot-act trouble myself.

I don’t configure the xorg.conf with invoking SAX2 - without exception with nvidia-settings.

Here is my xorg.conf:

Is something inaccurate?
I dont’nt understand the section “Serverlayout”.

Can someone give a feedback to me?

Thank’s.

Try not to worry about it - there is nothing wrong exactly. I would leave well alone. There have been numerous threads on this subject.
