the output of xrandr command:

OK I see, so I take it "DVI1" represents your second screen. One
factor I'd forgotten - I've only ever been using VGA to connect my
external screens, not DVI. Anyone else done DVI? Does it need any
special modules for example?
Just curious, which macbook are you using?
You can tell by giving us the output of:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
MacBookPro5,2
As far as I understand Apple, they love to change specs every day, and
in this case your graphic card might need a specific tweak to get it
working with an external display
I don't think that is a Apple issues, the last time (2/3 months ago) I
have used ubuntu (perhaps 8.10, certainly not the last 9.10) it
recognize perfectly in the same computer the same second monitor.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
might be a good place to find out about those tweaks.
thank you, I want to investigate more...
