Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
In Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 running on a Lenovo S10, support for multiple monitors is completely broken. Once another monitor is plugged in, the Monitors settings program successfully detects its name and resolution, but it fails to extend the workspace to fill that monitor.
Instead, it can only show the cursor at the corner of the second monitor if it is placed there, but the mouse cursor does not "enter" the second monitor.
If one tries to change the relative positions of the monitors, both screens lock. If one sets the monitors to display the same image, the same thing happens and it only comes back after a reboot.

This is a key thing to get right in Natty, even if "right" is only
parity with the desktop.
