    Exclamation Dual Monitor Support

    Hi, I have on Ubuntu 12.04 and I have 2 external monitors connected via port replicator, the laptop monitor is not used.
    The 2 monitors are mirrowed fine, but I can't extend the display, as I was able to do before I loaded all latest updates...
    Here are some details about my setup:

    # lspci | grep VGA

    # xrandr

    In the "Settings/Settings Manager/Display" I have selected to use the output for 2 external monitors, the laptop monitor is not used.

    # lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
    Release: 12.04
    Codename: precise


    I also tried the disper app, but it has an error:
    #disper -e
    There is no matching crtc for the output

    And if you un-check the "Mirror Displays" box in Displays, it doesn't accomplish what you want?
    Jane, stop this crazy thing!
