Ubuntu support for 2 monitors

ubuntu-logoI’m an Ubuntu fan. These guys at Canonical know how to get things done. They release 2 Ubuntu versions per year full of improvements. It should be a case of study on how fast Ubuntu gets better.

This week I decided to add a second monitor to my notebook. I first thought I was going to have a hard time. Check manuals, forums and alike. Especially because the 2nd monitor and my notebook have different resolutions.

Surprise. It was too easy. Plug and play.

Well, almost. I could not set the 2nd monitor to a higher resolution. I had to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf, increase the Virtual resolution and restart gnome.

Anyway, having fun with 2 monitors again. Wohooo!!
