When Ubuntu boots, the second monitor mirrors my other monitor, but when the login screen pops up, the monitor doesn't get any signal from my computer. When I go to monitor setup, it is not detected. If I unplug my first monitor, the second works fin with Ubuntu. When I tried 11.10 on a flash drive, it worked fine as a dual monitor. The default seems to be VGA over the DVI connection. Help?
Hi,
Apologies if this is somehow covered elsewhere. I've done a good bit of searching to no avail.
I'm running 2 monitors from a fresh install of F17 on my Dell Latitude D410.
Monitor 1: the laptop's LCD screen - detected, all fine and dandy.
Monitor 2: an external flatscreen monitor.
I got this silly idea in my head that I wanted to use two monitors, both displaying different things, at the same time. It doesn't work on the computer I usually use, either in Ubuntu or Windows (the computer dual boots). I tried it on my other computer, which I don't use because the hard drive is dead, using an 8.10 live USB. It worked.
I have an issue with my monitor.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10, but the monitor that is plugged in doesn't appear anywhere. And by doesn't appear, I mean that in the "Displays" menu, it doesn't even appear as "Unknown", I just have my screen that appears and nothing else.
It is connected through VGA, and the monitor is recognized with no problem on Windows 7.
I have just setup a dual monitor system with a 23 inch LED monitor and a 19 inch LCD monitor. The 23 inch one is connected through HDMI. The 19 inch one is connected to the analogue port of the same GPU (Nvidia Geforce 210).
In Ubuntu 12.10, after installing Nvidia drivers, the 23 inch monitor works fine but the 19 inch monitor got a very low resolution.

I have a custom built gaming computer with 2 monitors, after using Ubuntu on my laptop since 8.04 on up to 12.04 I decided to install the same 12.04 on my desktop which usually runs Windows.
The main problem I'm having now is it only detects 1 monitor and treats it like a laptop monitor.
Hi,
I'm using dual monitor on Ubuntu 12.10. Both monitor had same brand and type, the only difference is one using DVI cable and others using RGB. The DVI Monitor resolution are 1280x1024 and the other monitor are 1024x768. How I could change the resolution of my RGB monitor to be the same as DVI monitor.
I have a dual monitor set-up, one runs at 1280x1024 and the other has a native resolution of 1920x1080 but gets displayed at 640x480.
Note: My friend has the exact same monitor (bought from the same store on the same day) and it works fine.
Monitor: Acer H243H
Video card : GTX 470
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
So far I have tried:
- deleting xorg.conf
- plugging in my friends monitor, saving xor
