I've been searching online and reading tutorials and etc about how to make my ubuntu VM dual screen(x86_64). I have first tried to run these commands:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f

which gave me the ouput of:

sudo: aitconfig: command not found

I then googled the output and followed these instructions that I tells me to install my ATI drivers onto my ubuntu.

wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all
sudo reboot

It all works well until I input sudo apt-get -f install which gives me the following output:

sudo apt-get -f install

At this point, I don't know what to do since running:

gksudo amdcccle

For the record, I have 3D acceleration turned on. The following is my GPU for my VM

lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics     Adapter

Any Help on how I can make my VM dual screen with Ubuntu would be great. Thank you in advance.
