I am trying to use 32"LCD monitor with my ubuntu 10.10 installation. I am trying to use my laptop screen and external monitor at the same time but having two separate desktops. I also want to use my laptop with 1280x800 resolution and external one with 1920 x 1080 using VGA.
However, ubuntu sees my external LCD as a CRT and provide 13....x... resolution at the best not above.
My graphics card driver is Nvidia 270.... driver.
Is ubuntu capable of using two monitors separately or should i give up?
Thank you
