Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Currently running Ubuntu 10.10, gnome-control-center 1:2.31.91-0ubuntu1.
I am trying to set up a second monitor in the gnome control center. I
click on the 'monitors' button to open gnome-display-properties and the
second monitor has been correctly detected (correct make and model
appears in the window). If I click on the second monitor and change its
status to 'on' and try to drag my cursor into the second monitor, I can
only see my cursor appear at the very edge of the second monitor. Yes,
the monitor is on, but the screen is black, and the cursor only appears
on the very edge. If I then click 'apply' in gnome-display-properties I
get an error message "could not save the monitor configuration." Second
monitor is a Samsung Electric Company 23" LCD; worked fine under Lucid.
