Hi,

I have a second, larger LCD above my laptop monitor.

The two monitors do work but I wish they would operate more like windows.

Ubuntu is treating the setup as one large screen, but for me, ideally they would be treated separately. ie. Displaying the desktop picture twice.

I have had an on going struggle with getting my tablet functionality to work with dual monitors and right now I'm pointing blame at how the two monitors are being treated.

I have seen at least 3 different display modes that I can use, but pretty confused and certainly don't know which one I should be aiming to implement.
