Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Using 10.10, I cannot "extend my desktop to a second monitor" (in windows speak) I used to be able to do this with 10.04! Start Monitor Preferences from System->Preferences->Monitors Uncheck "Same image in all monitors" Click Apply, or Click Make Defualt A Dialouge box pops up stating "Please log out and log back in again" Click ok on the Dialoge box Log off and then back in and both monitors still have the same image. Repeating the steps again does not rectify the problem. Restarting does not make any difference.
