I went into screens and graphics and it is only showing one monitor as unknown and a resolution of 640X480. (Btw the monitor that is working is my widescreen laptop monitor and it is set to 1280X800 according to xrandr). When I go in to change the monitor type and press Detect, it does find the correct model of my second monitor, however it will not activate it. In Gutsy, both my monitors show up on this page. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Clarification over Alpha 1 and dual monitors
As for the original question: you can create an xorg.conf X will use it. You could also try the System-Administration-Screens Graphics program, which should set it up for you. File bugs if it doesn't work :). Well I got it to detect both monitors for a little bit. At first all it would show was my secondary monitor which was not activated. After I set the correct resolution and restarted the x server, It showed a second monitor which I presumed to be my laptop's monitor. After I set that resolution, I tried to reset the x server again and got the following error: /etc/gdm/failsavexserver: line47 [: too many arguments warning: could not retrieve EDID because set-edid is not installed (1): error: this program does not know how to configure the 10 shared/default-x-server doesnt exist.

Indeed it does. Running xrandr --auto would be a good start, as
long as you're using one of {ati, intel}. The nouveau driver for
nVidia cards may work, too, but you obviously aren't using that.
As for the original question: you can create an xorg.conf X will use
it. You could also try the System-Administration-Screens Graphics
program, which should set it up for you. File bugs if it doesn't work
:).
