Dual Monitors not working with Koala.
Hi, Im a casual user running a dell vostro 1500, with Kubuntu 9.10, and don't have too much experience configuring xorg.conf
The system has never been able to identify my monitors properly, when trying to setup up with the GUI "Configure Display" The position drop downs are not present. (Also when clickng on identify outputs in the Configure Diplay settings, both monitors are identified as both VGA and LVDS1).
In 9.04, I got around this by running xrandr, and positioning the monitors myself.
This no longer works in Koala... xrandr does nothing...Code:xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050 --output VGA --right-of LVDS --mode 1680x1050
Can anyone help?
Much appreciated in advance.
