Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I have 2 monitors.
During installation of Kubuntu 10.04 both monitors showed the same display.
After installation, one monitor is blank, the other works.
I want to have a double-width workspace between the two monitors, not a cloned display.
I'll attach dmesg output from both the liveCD session and after installation. I don't know what else is useful.

What I have tried so far is to open kubuntu systemsettings and click on the display kcm. The multiple monitors screen there contains only a label saying "This module is only for configuring systems with a single desktop spread across multiple monitors. You do not appear to have this configuration."
