Following on from my new monitor thread, I ended up with a Viewsonic VG2227WM 22" Monitor. I know this wasn't mentioned in that thread, but for various reasons that is what I ended up with. And, as suggested, I also replaced my Matrox card (new graphics card is an ASUS geforce EN210 Silent)
The Viewsonic is now my primary monitor (working well ) and I am trying to use a Belinia monitor as a second screen. Ubuntu (10.10) seems to disable this second screen by default, as it stays dead on boot up, and is listed in the NVIDIA settings GUI as "disabled" . I have enabled the Belinia, it was already set up as sitting on the left of the Viewsonic, checked TWINVIEW, and ticked the box on the Viewsonic tab that makes the Viewsonic the "Primary display for the X-screen) BUT as soon as I enable the Belinia, the dock jumps across to the Belinia and dialog boxes open by default on the Belinia. There is an option in this NVIDIA set up GUI to save X to configuration file, which I assume I need to save to make the monitor set up permanent. But of course at the moment the second screen is acting as if it was the primary screen. Will this sort wrong primary display problem sort itself out if I save the X configuration and reboot, or is there something else I should be doing. Many thanks, Graham
