12.04 fixed my multiple monitors issue, but for a while it took around 2-3 hours of setup to get dual monitors working with my AMD/ATI card.

- keithpeter 14y agoNVIDIa on Ubuntu 12.04 took about 10 minutes to work out twinview. You should put your method on Ubuntuforums or askubuntu. There are always threads running about AMD cards on those forums.
- bostonvaulter2 14y agoWhile external monitors with twinview work pretty well, it is a huge pain to configure. You have to open up the nvidia configuration application and set it up, not autodetection or panel applet.
- keithpeter 14y agoYes, I should have said that, nvidia settings just bypasses the display applet. Didn't take ages though although not friendly.
- dfc 14y agoTen bucks says you are using proprietary drivers...
- keithpeter 14y agoYup, can't get Unity (Ubuntu) or GS (Debian) otherwise. Gnome Shell works with nouveau drivers on Fedora 17 beta although it is clunky.
- dfc 14y agoHave you tried Debian unstable?
- keithpeter 14y agoNot yet, I was using Testing with GS 3.2. Might give Sid a go over the four day bank holiday weekend we have in the UK for Her Majesty.
