Thread: fresh install of 12.04, 2nd monitor not detected
hi there,
thought id give ubuntu shot since new version out, version 12.04.
uninstalled windows.
there no direct 12.04 version on ubuntu.com website, downloaded 11.10 version.
once downloaded 11.10 version, followed upgrade instructions on ubuntu website
located here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/precisepango...overview/beta1
guess im using version available, 4/3/2012.
during install process, both monitors had same screen, so, mirroring 1 another.
once installation completed, rebooted, , main monitor worked. main monitor connected dvi port of graphic card. secondary monitor connected vga port on same graphic card.
in case wondering, im running x3 440 processor, 4 gb of ram, , geforce 8500 3gb of memory. first monitor viewsonic 19" lcd, second monitor mag innovation 19" lcd monitor.
taskbar (which in windows @ bottom) on left side of screen on ubuntu.
clicked system settings > additional drivers, install graphic drivers needed.
there 2 of them, clicked on them both. im using 1 labelled post-release updates.
tried both see if can detect second monitor. none seem work.
i'll put screen shot here.
here screenshot of system settings > details:
reason, cant figure out video card is. i'd fix that, if can figure out how.
here picture of system settings > displays window.
display window cant seem detect second monitor, connected video card on vga port. reason, thinks desktop laptop, , not laptop.
during install, mirroring, so, id assume detect monitor without problems. , yet, second monitor here black, , no connection.
video card, geforce 8500 has 2 outputs, vga port , dvi port. main monitor connected dvi port. secondary connected vga port. worked fine under windows.
cant seem work under ubuntu.
advice fix appreciated.
thanks,
- u
