Enabling Dual Screens

So I have finally decided it was time to set up dual screens for my Ubuntu. There are many confusing explanations out there on how to do it, but I prefer this method.

Step 1: Installing EnvyNG

Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager



Once there, type envyng into the search bar. Then select envyng-core and envyng-gtk. Go ahead and hit apply. The package manager should download and install envy now.

Step 2: Using EnvyNG

Go to Applications -> Tools -> EnvyNG

Once this is open, select the automatic installation for whatever type of graphics card you have. It will then install the driver software, and once you click ok you will need to restart your computer.

Step 3: Setting up dual screen

For ATI:
Once restarted, go to Applications -> Other -> then select the ATI Catalyst Control Center

Select Display Manager, then Display Modes, then Big Desktop.
Restart your computer and your good to go.

For Nvidia:

Go to System -> Administration -> NVIDIA X Server Settings

Next go to configure -> twin view -> ok then click apply and save
Restart you computer and you should have dual screen
