Since filing the above, I've rebooted. I now see the same screen in both monitors, i.e. mirrored mode. gnome-display-properties still can't identify either monitor.
Also, in spite of what xrandr reported above, the one monitor that was running before, and both of them now, was in 1280x1024, the top resolution for both. gnome-display-properties at least gets that right. -- ATI driver can't use 2nd monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
