I have a laptop with an external monitor and it too uses an nvidia 
card.  I use the nvidia proprietary drivers and it comes with a "NVIDIA 
X Server settings" applet for configuring the xorg.conf file.  That said 
it sounds like you have configured your monitors for "side by side" 
useage.  You can probably drag applets from one to the other by moving 
them horizontaly?
In my case I use twinview because my laptop is closed most of the time 
and I only look at the external monitor.  This is the config for that:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by 
nvidia-settings
