So I cleared the "Mirror Screens" tick box in the Screen Resolution dialogue, and now dual head works (there was no 1600x1200 resolution available for the external screen, however, until I increased the size of the virtual screen in xorg.conf).
But I don't see how to turn off xinerama mode, and get two independent screens. (With xinerama on, I get portions of the virtual screen which are not mapped onto any physical display, and when I disconnect from my office screen and work elsewhere I don't know how to stop various applications from opening windows or placing desktop items in the invisible parts of the virtual screen.) I guess I'll probably be able to figure that out. Dual head does work. -- dual head mode stopped working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
