[Axel Beckert (xtaran)]

"what to do?" is clearly a question and there are no symptoms other than "does not work".

It's not what to do, it doesn't work!
nvidia-settings is able both to:
1) detect the model of my both monitors
2) detect the presence of second one
Parameters settings -> Display is only able to detect 1st monitor, but not its model.
So I need to use nvidia-settings to change from one display at full resolution to both display as same vertical resolution.
