Ubuntu GeForce GT240 dual monitors?
those helpful chaps at Scan advised that the GeForce GT240 graphics card would support 2 monitors, I just needed to have a HDMI adaptor to 15 pin D type and then plug in a second screen ............
So, this afternoon I did just that. I plugged in the HDMI - D type adaptor and plugged in 2 monitors, both 15 D type connected, and all that has happened is that the picture now appears on the monitor connected through the HDMI adaptor, the original screen is completely blank.
I suspect that the graphics driver is one of the many things that got screwed up in the latest Ubuntu release (11.10!) as the "Displays" utility does not even recognise the display already connected and just goes with a default driver.
Has anyone succeded in getting this up and running?
