Dual Video Problems
 
Need some assistance with video under Ubuntu 11.10. I have a custom device based on the Freescale i.MX6Q ARM processor with two video sources. I can boot into the Ubuntu GUI but the GUI screen only appears in one screen with the other screen blank. When I select the "Displays..." menu option, only one monitor is identified as "Unknown". Fortunately both video sources are still usable since I am able to play AVI videos with gstreamer in either monitor.

I would like to have both monitors identified and configureable under the Ubuntu GUI. I would also like to stretch the desktop across both video sources. Any ideas what I am missing?

In the Xorg.0.log file, I get the following error which would explain why only one monitor is being shown:

[ 23.101] (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
My xorg.conf file is here:
