Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
with Maverick Meerkat (10.10) dual display works perfectly. The laptop and large panel monitors have independent resolution. Using Natty Narwhal (11.04) I cannot get this configuration to work. When I do plug in the second monitor I do see windows on both screens, but the windows spill over the edges into nowhere land. Drag and click mouse commands mostly do not work at all. I really like this new release, but I may have to return to 10.10 if this problem is not resolved soon. I did download another app, multiple screens (grandr), but that does not work either. Thanks for whatever you can do to repair this problem with Narwhal!
