FWIW my problem with g-d-p was that it wasn't enough to drag the laptop
screen to the side of the external screen. Apparently I had to
explicitly click on the external screen, and then change the resolution
from Off to something sane. I wish g-d-p automatically chose the

Dual head configuration was enabled in gnome-control-center

There is still an issue where Virtual size must be specified in
xorg.conf, but that's an xorg bug, not gnome-control-center.

around to specify the desired dual-head position, so you can now
indicate which monitor should be on the left and which one on the right.
It didn't appear to work for me, though, with Intel i965, although I can

the Bryce Harrington and others are doing in this area; is it really the

the planet is shipping with no way to graphically enable multiple

I had hoped to spend time implementing this for Hardy, but bugs have
taken precedence. I would be willing to continue with implementation of
it, but since it's a new feature am doubtful it would be accepted. If I
have time maybe I'll put it in my ppa.

According to Bryce, displayconfig-gtk will be removed from the menu by

I'm aware that 'Screen Resolution' has never done this. However Hardy
will not have the 'Screens and Graphics' available to users, where this
functionality was set up, as 'Screen Resolution' replaces it and
