Second monitor not detected
- by configurator
Note: I've seen this question quite a lot, but in all the cases I could find with answers, the answer was either "I don't know" or "use nvidia-settings (which is irrelevant to me)."
I'm using Intel Sandybridge Desktop graphics, with a P8H61-M LE motherboard. How do I get Ubuntu to detect my second monitor?
Clicking "Detect Displays" here doesn't do anything.
Here's some system info:

I've tried upgrading everything from ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa and ppa:glasen/intel-driver.
I've also installed various tools I've found in other threads (e.g. hardinfo) but they weren't really helpful to me as I don't know what to make of the data. How do I get Ubuntu to detect my second monitor?
