[Rory McCann <rory@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I erroneously thought that I was using free drivers. however after
grepping dmeg I found i wasn't. removing nvidia-current and rebooting
fixed this problem. i have updated the bug description to match that.

** Description changed:

  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.
