Title:
  dual monitors not recognized

Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-173” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I run 11.10 from live CD both monitors displayed in mirror mode.
  Went to system settings/Display, unchecked "Mirror Displays".  Left
  and right were reversed so switched using drag and drop.  Success!
  [Correctly identified Dell monitor but LG monitor was incorrectly
  identified as something generic.  However, everything was working
  fine.]

  Proceeded with installation.  (FYI, installed on existing ext4
  partition. Boot partition - also ext4 - is not mounted.) Selected to
  use additional proprietary software.  Additional software showed
  NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics driver (version 173) was installed.  Tried
  "(post-release updates)(version 173-update)" and "(version current)"
  and "(post-release updates)(version current-updates)" to no avail.

  Had similar problem at 9.04.  Found solution in forum.  However, since
  the live CD installation seems to work, was hoping to avoid having to
  hack the installation.  Should I have chosen to not include the
  proprietary drivers?
