[Bug 877051] [NEW] dual monitors not recognized

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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?
