monitor set up problems, vga1 not found


hi i desperatly need some help getting my new monitors to work on ubuntu 10.04 , i have spent several days at it so far no luck .

I found this about your graphics card
at the Linux.com website http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/3757

I hope you find it helpful.
