Hi,
I'm running a dual monitor set-up on 11.04 natty in unity (VGA & DVI through a 128MB X300 ATI Dedicated graphics card) which seems to work, but has a few bugs which are highly annoying, which some people here might be able to help with:


The Monitors (different aspect ratios & resolutions) cannot be set to different resolutions, as if they are set to different resolutions all I see is noise.
I have no wallpaper in dual screen on either screen.
I can still view any window, dialogue, or graphic after closing/moving it. This is the most annoying, and I really would appreciate a fix. see screenshot for an example of this issue.

Install the proprietary drivers, with them should come the software to set up multiple monitors.
Not the software that comes with ubuntu, I mean the software that installs with your driver) if you follow

Ok, thanks,
I'll have a look around for the right drivers
