http://chakra-project.org – Hi everybody,I'm running on two monitors now, two Samsung, one 1680x1050 and the other 1280x1024. My 1680x1050 is running perfectly, but for some reason the other monitor is not being detected at all.If I go to System Settings -> Display & Monitor only my main monitor shows up and the "Multiple Monitors" Tab says: You do not appear to have a single  desktop spread across multiple monitors.That's what my xorg.conf says:[spoiler]Section "ServerLayout"    Identifier     "X.org Configured"    Screen    (HowTos)

I can't get nouveau to run as a dual-head across my two monitors.  At the moment, I'm running this config, but my displays are mirrored.  What am I doing wrong?Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout" Screen "Screen" EndSection

Just installed Ubuntu 9.10, 32 bit, and my standard 17" LCD monitor is not recognized. Instead, I'm stuck with system defaults and a max resolution of 800x600 (640x480 after installing the nvidia drivers). Since the other 7 distros I'm booting are happily finding the monitor and I'm used to 1024x768, I'm not enjoying the experience.

Does anybody have any experience in setting up 4 monitors across two identical video adapters?

The only way that I can get the second adapter to work is if I set up the first adapter to Xinerama = on, if I set it to "off" the third monitor doesnt work at all...that makes no sense to me. Below is my config,,, odd is that only one video adapter shows up in amdcccle.

Gnome/Multiscreen and flash 3 years 23 weeks ago

I'm using a Multiscreen setup, one connected through hdmi, the other through dvi. Main monitor is running 1680x1050, secondary 1360x768

I've installed the ati drivers, and from there enabled Xinerama.

If I maximize a flash video, it maximizes on the secondary screen, and in the wrong resolution, making me unable to watch in full screen. >:(

I have a eeePC1000HE and use a 24" LCD screen (Samsung P2450H) in the office. The netbook screen works fine on its own. But as a dual display, my netbook screen is too small (800 x 600) and while the picture fills my large screen but has the wrong resolution.

I'm running Ultimate Edition 2.3, which is based off of Ubuntu 8.04. I have a dual monitor system that I'm running off of my dual head GeForce FX 5200 graphics card. So far, I have installed the 173 driver and got it so I have two independent monitors. However, I've come to an issue that I'm not sure of how to fix.
