Norwood Micro Generic Monitor
nUbuntu 8.12 Beta
I am trying to run dual monitors on nUbuntu with them running as seperate desktops and I can drag windows from one to the other. I have 2 ports on my ATI graphics card. one is VGA and one is DVI. I have an adapter on the DVI port to make it VGA. I have both screens plugged in to the ports and right now they are cloning each other. The Generic configuration for my xorg.conf file is this:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I know...Very strange for a xorg.conf. Not even any file section or sections for my mouse and keyboard (which both work fine by the way), and no..there is no other files in the X11 folder that even resemble xorg.conf (such as XF86conf or xorg.conf-4). I have tried to manually configure it but with only the error that when I start up the computer and type startx. it shows errors such as "no screens found" and "fatal server error". Here is my manual configuration:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XoRg.cOnF"
Screen "screen0"
Screen "screen1" RightOf "screen0"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
# I don't know if I need this...

Option "clone" "off"
