Thread: can I run dual displays like this?


hello all, new unbuntu. built new machine couple weeks ago , have been running 12.04 lts on it, , 27" led. intention buy 27" or similar dual monitor setup. due cost though planned future upgrade.

in mean time thought use old 17" trinitron crt thats not being used otherwise. have 27" led hooked dvi-d on radeon 7770, , 17" crt hooked vga port on mobo (asrock z77 pro4).

@ first got word unbuntu on crt red dots under it, thats it, , ubuntu didnt detect monitors other 27". when shut system down, command line information shutdown pops on crt. after reboot, still cannot ubuntu see monitor there. in cmos thing can find onboard video select 1 primary, , set pci-e since radeon primary.

have suggestions?
thanks!

so, mean:
when startup : crt up, 27" down
during usage : crt down, 27" up
shutting down: crt up, 27" down
able set monitors through "monitors" in setup?

experience 12.04 hp laptop intel hdg2000/3000, , works fine dual monitor, though automatically set 1024*768.
