currently when i restart gnome, it stretches my screen as it should (ie the background stretches to include the screen to the right and i can drag windows over there) but there is no actual video out...it took me lots of scrounging to set up this xorg.conf in gutsy but it no longer works in hardy.:confused: Did the driver change or something?...to my knowledge i didnt use anything different...just the same one that showed up in system>administration>hardware drivers...
here is my existing xorg.conf
