it is related, but not exactly the same. I also had to manually edit xorg.conf to get it to work. Ubuntu's install and safe-mode configures xorg.conf wrong for my hardware (Fujitsu-Siemens S7110 with Intel 945GM), "vesa" and "i810" x drivers are used which do not work for dual screen setup. I used "intel" x driver manually in xorg.conf and it works correctly until you choose "Cloned Screens" from gnome-display- properties.
After that it is not possible to change it back to not cloned mode from gui. I can restore normal screen setup only by deleting ~/gnome2/monitors.xml and restarting X. -- gnome-display-properties only allowing cloned screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
