Today I decided to throw away my Windows XP configuration and give a try for Ubuntu Edgy Eft on my PC at home.
First of all, installation is a breeze. I choose the x64 since I have an AMD 3500+ CPU. I've used the live CD and everything seemed to work. Except my dual screen config. I only had an image on my left screen. After some searching I've found you needed to configure your xorg.conf in /etc/X11. I have got a nVidia GeForce 6600 GT and two LCD screens. After doing A LOT of attempts, I got it to work. But for some reason without graphics acceleration (XGL). Then I've found this site. It describes the differences GREAT! So I have a nVidia, so why not go for 'TwinView'... Basicly what I did was adding: Option "TwinView" "True" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf" Option "UseEdidFreqs" "True" Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768" Option "UseDisplayDevice" "CRT,CRT" in the "Device" section, nothing more nothing less. IT WORKS GREAT!
