I use Ubuntu 9.10 and connected a second monitor.
The monitor works but I cannot get it to run as I want it.
My setup:
- ubuntu 9.10
- nvidia G98 (GeForce 8400 GS)
- driver used "nivdia"
- using compiz
- right (primairy) monitor Toshiba PA3553 (22") @1680x1050
- left (secondary( monitor Samsung Syncmaster 940w @1440x900
What I want to achieve is that both monitors act as separate desktops, this means when I maximize a windows it maximizes to only the monitor on which it is on. Also it should be possible to move windows from 1 to the other monitor.
I now works when I maximize it stays on 1 monitor but I cannot move screens/windows between the 2 monitors.
Can please someone help me configuring this?
