Need Dual monitor help
Posted: 12. Aug 2010, 15:20
Here is what I have:
Windows 7 64 bit with dual monitor setup (2 Dell monitors)
Latest build of VirtualBox
Latest ISO image of SuSe 11.3
Now I am not a big Linux guy, in fact I tend to know enough to get me in trouble. I set up the virtual machine with 1562mb of base memory, 2 processors, 128mb of video RAM, 2 screens, 3D Acceleration enabled, and the rest of the settings default. I installed SuSe with the KDE Desktop as I was told that it would probably easy for me to get used to since I am and have always been a windows guy.
Now when I start up the machine I get one window with the OS in and a blank empty window, which I suppose is the for the second monitor. After I go to "Configure Desktop" and then "Display" is where I run into problems. When I click "Identify Outputs", I only get output identities on one window and not the other. When I go to "Multiple Monitors", it say that the module is not configured.
I apologize for asking a question that is probably already been asked, but I am pretty much a Linux newbie and am trying to learn as I go, so I appreciate any help I could get.
