Public bug reported: When I run 11.10 from live CD both monitors displayed in mirror mode. Went to system settings/Display, unchecked "Mirror Displays". Left and right were reversed so switched using drag and drop. Success! [Correctly identified Dell monitor but LG monitor was incorrectly identified as something generic. However, everything was working fine.]
Proceeded with installation. (FYI, installed on existing ext4 partition. Boot partition - also ext4 - is not mounted.) Selected to use additional proprietary software. Additional software showed NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics driver (version 173) was installed. Tried "(post- release updates)(version 173-update)" and "(version current)" and "(post-release updates)(version current-updates)" to no avail. Had similar problem at 9.04. Found solution in forum. However, since the live CD installation seems to work, was hoping to avoid having to hack the installation. Should I have chosen to not include the proprietary drivers?
