Re: Dual Monitor Support

Running nvidia-settings worked for me on 8.10. Gforce
[System>Administration>Nvidia Settings] A funny trick it pulled on me initially
was placing the screens over each other and I thought there was only one
being detected. Click and drag the monitor around to make sure there isn't
one hiding behind the other. :)

What graphics card are you using?

Which Ubuntu version are you running?

If it is Nvidia then ensure you run nvidia-settings as root. Then once
you have the seetings as you want then, make sure you click on
"Save to X Configuration File"

I have been through all this myself with 8.04.1. Unfortunately the
nvidia drivers seen to be broken on 8.10.
