[gabak]

big bug , i have been using ubuntu since 2008 and it never work out of the box with two monitors.
if i want to activa special effect some error appear and it simple does nt work.
Or do weird thing ,using diferent computer with diferent nvidia video cards.

why is that?
windows does a better job in that case.

ps: that means no compiz effects. i m computer tecnician and i have been installed ubuntu in a lot computer , diferent configuration when it come to use two monitor is it is real pain no matter what version of ubuntu.
it works well only if i dont want to use visual effects
