The Mir team is calling for a round of testing for Mir and multi-monitor
support specifically starting today through August 28th. Help us during
this round of testing to make sure Mir and features are thoroughly tested
on as many devices as possible.

You can find all the details you need on this wiki page. The tests will use
the *ppa:mir-team/system-compositor-testing ppa. *Full instructions can be
found on the wiki page.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/MultiMonitorTesting

Please report your results good or bad on the provided wiki results page or
the package tracker.

Thanks for helping make ubuntu better!

Eh, i can't get this working? I added the PPA, added the apt pref,
dist-upgraded, installed unity-system-compositor, rebooted (all as per the
instructions), and unity-system-compositor is not running. Is there a log
file somewhere that might explain why it isn't running? What steps should I
take to troubleshoot this?

Instructions are here:
http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/debug_for_xmir.html

But in short, first look at /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log and then
/var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log if the
lightdm.log indicates there is a problem with either.
