I am using a Panasonic CF-R8 to carry out presentations in my business trips. When I use a secondary monitor with Ubuntu 9.10 amd64, if I connect a secondary monitor, I get all icons changed and I can not get mirror screens. If I restart the computer with the secondary monitor connected to the computer, I am able to make it work properly after switching screens several times using the keyboard (fn+f3 in my computer).
