Dual Monitors dont work

[Mike Dorsett]

After installing graphics card, the dual monitor system doesn't work right. The accelerator card screen works fine, but the original on-board VGA shows blocks of noise. this only changes pattern at log on/off. The Sysyem settings/displays correctly identifies the hardware. The system works fine with windows XP, so there are no hardware issues.

Mike Dorsett, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Christopher,
            Thank you for your response. I'll get around to the upgrade
later today as this is a big nuisance. The screen shot indicated that
the dual screen was getting data from the o/s but this did not appear on
the catual monitor. I'll update you after installing the upgrade.

Hi Christopher,
  I finally got around to burning a dvd with that software, The results
are the same as before:
See attatchments for screen shot and ipc of displays. One further note:
the screen identifier for the dell screen also appears on the AOC
monitor, as if the actual data is written twice to the same memory area.
This only occurs before the apply button is pressed.

also I am having printer driver problems with both network and local
(USB) printers. In the status box for printer properties i get the
message idle- filter failed. ??? What filter?
  I hope that this is of some use to you in resolving the issue, sorry
for the delay, but I had little time recently to devote to this issue.

yours sincerley
Mike Dorsett

Mike Dorsett, thank you for testing Trusty. As a potential WORKAROUND, do the proprietary nvidia drivers demonstrate this problem following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?

[Mike Dorsett (u-mike-f)]

Hi Christopher,
                       i'm not sure of the relevance of changing this
driver. The Dell monitor is pluged into the mother board vga, this is
the one that doesn't work. The AOC monitor is pluged into the graphics
card, & works fine.
