had a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 desktop today on my nx8220 laptop. everything went smooth but still have problem with dual display. If I us generic video driver, then I was able to give different resolution setting to my laptop and external monitor but the problem is it show both of the display are overlapping each other, i was not able to make the external monitor as an extension to the laptop display.
Then I enable the ATI driver, things get even worst, startup no display (can be solved), then the external display is only allow to work in clone mode and the resolution is limited to my laptop resolution which is 1280x800.
No choice, I was lazy to debug and just revert to the generic driver, at least i can set the external monitor to 1280x1024.
