In Squeeze the support for dual monitors changed. It is no longer in the configuration file, although it can be optionally placed there. Now multiple monitor a userland operation using the xrandr interface. This is nice actually and allows useful scripted configurations. Use the 'xrandr --query' to print attached device information and then use the device information to specify where the monitors are placed in the larger logical screen. I have the following in my init files. I will avoid mentioning the file I am using because I doubt you are launching the same way and it would just cause confusion. But this is how I turn on dual monitor support these days. if xrandr --query | grep -q HDMI2; then xrandr --auto --output HDMI2 --right-of HDMI1 fi Bob
