Thread: Not detecting 2nd monitor and X Server Display config comes up w/ an error


okay, i'm new ubuntu; installed yesterday , since installed , applied 173 driver+updates (so use ubuntu non-2d) laptop hasn't been detecting external monitor, use because laptop's screen pretty screwed (dis-coloured pixels on place). i've been scouring google since i'm new @ of instructions on how fix issue don't make sense me.
did try going nvidia settings (i running geforce fx go5200, btw) , accessing x server display configuration, when open says:
"unable load x server display configuration page:

failed query noscanout screen 0. "

, in "display" settings labels laptop's display "unknown" , doesn't register have external monitor plugged in.
i'm dual-booting ubuntu alongside windows xp (if helps @ all). , need external monitor!

in advance!

does no 1 know work around or fix??
