Yes. You will need to edit (or create, if it doesn't exist)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Add the following lines to it (or if you already have a Device section,
add the Option lines to it):
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia" # or "nouveau" if you're using that driver
Option "TwinView" # Enables nVidia TwinView
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone" # Enables Display cloning
EndSection
Save the file and restart X (or reboot if that's easier). You should now
see the same image on all connected displays.
