Public bug reported:
I've installed Gutsy RC. I have a Nvidia Geforce 8600 with two DVI flat
panels Samsung SyncMaster 223BW with 1680x1050 resolution.
These are the problems I'm experiencing:
- the card is not automatically detected and is configured as Vesa
800x600 (single monitor)
- if I select by hand the nv driver I can use the correct resolution but
I'm unable to specify a setting for the second monitor (i.e.: there is
no option available at all)
- if I install proprietary drivers X does not start anymore and after a
few failures it returns to lowres Vesa mode
This is the output from lspci -v:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)

and lspci -n:

So I'm stuck with a single monitor :(
