Dell Latitude with NVIDIA running Ubuntu
Using a screen expanding to two monitors was always easy until I installed the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
Suddenly the settings for Displays do no longer feel responsible for the 2nd monitor.
You have to use nvidia-settings
to configure the monitor setup (twinview in
my case).
Instead of saving the X configuration in nvidia-settings
, nvidia-xconfig
seems to do the job without errors and a lot better, but don’t forget sudo
.
