dual monitors not working with Maverick Meerkat

[squidgy45]

Hi, I have been using ubuntu for a year or so with little trouble until now. I have done a fresh install of 10.10 and my second monitor doesnt work. I have Intel G31 graphics. It was working fine with 10.4 and previously 9.4, it displays the bios splash screen and then nothing. System>preferences>monitors does not show it as present at all. Here is my lshw -C video:

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Well thanks guys, problem still exists and noone can be bothered to help. Looks like its back to Win 7 until ubuntu can get its act together. At least there is plenty of help and support there!

I had an issue with getting a dual mointor setup on Maverick (10.10).

I looked at this site:
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:M...rs_with_nVidia

and it worked like a charm.
just make sure both monitors are on.
