I have 2 beautiful 27″ ASUS monitors. I started trying out Ubuntu 12.04 and now only one works and thats VGA.<\/p>\n

Any help here cause I’m stumped. I have a BFG Tech Nivida Geforce 8800 GT 512MB<\/em> and I’m trying to fix this.<\/p>\n

I get this error when I try to configure the xorg file:<\/p>\n
