Dual monitor display 12.04?
- by MrMonty
I have 2 beautiful 27" asus monitors. I started trying out Ubuntu 12.04 and now only one works and thats vga ..
Any help here cause I'm stumped. I have a bfg tech nivida Geforce 8800 gt 512mb and I'm trying to fix this.
Getting this error Wen i try to configure the xorg file Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'DFP-0: 1280x1024 @1280x1024 +0+0, DFP-1: 1280x1024 @1280x1024 +1280+0' (Mode 2560x1024, id: 50) on X screen 0.
