Public bug reported: although you may not think this is a bug dual monitor support in linux is pathetic. From having to select from different standards such as mergedfb and xinerama and going through the archaic configuratioin of the xorg.conf file. Other operating systems seem to support dual monitors rather well (winXP and macOS).
** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- xinerama does not support dri, metacity does not work well with xinerama,etc. https://launchpad.net/bugs/70379 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
