Re: Linux Mint 12 - Dual monitors (intel gma 950 / 3100) MAT

Okay, after digging through this doc, I have a hideous workaround http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Using_Multiple_Screens While I could go through (and have in the past) the trouble of setting up xorg.conf (and accidentally blowing it away everytime I upgrade), I've created a script to run at startu...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the pointers. My lack of response is not because I've resolved this yet. I've also been busy up to my eyeballs and I will need to get Mint back onto the hdd (after some moving partitions around a little). plus i've been divulging my time into another mini-project. Messing a...

ooh first reply! Tried envy. nada. Screen still would go blank like mad. Plus, this monitor doesn't display right on ANY resolution besides 1680x1050. I remember trying to set it to everything else.
