2011-06-14 Thread Darryl L. Pierce
For my Fedora 15 laptop, I have a docking station at work that has two monitors connected to it. When I move between desktops, the right monitor keeps its content and the left monitor is the only one that changes. How do I make it so that both displays change? I want to have both monitors to be us
