Thank you sir! Unfortunately, this was a very long time ago and I don't
even have that laptop any longer.
Only recently (within 2 weeks) has there been an AMD driver that allows
my HP Pavillion system to run dual monitors with xinerama under 11.10.
I really hope Ubuntu solves the video issue soon. Nowadays many users
are accustomed to using multiple monitors.

Subject: [Bug 394006] Re: external display not recognized
The reason why it doesn't automatically recognize it is that you're
using the NVIDIA proprietary driver, which needs further configuration
to enable dualhead.

Title:
external display not recognized
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When I first installed Ubuntu about 6 weeks ago, I plugged in an
external display and it was recognized and configured immediately.
Now, perhaps because of an automatic update, my laptop will not
recognize the display while running Ubuntu. (It does under Vista).
I have a 64 bit HP Pavillion dv9500 with a NVidia graphics card.
This feature is sorely missed.
