Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have a nVidia GeForce 8600 GT video card. I'm not using closed source
drivers (so I'm using what ever the default ubuntu/linux drivers are). I
have 2 monitors plugged in the back of them. Both monitors worked out of
the box with no extra settings needed. Today I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04
and the dual monitors don't work. only one monitor works.
