My laptop has an Nvidia card and I was not able to activate my external monitor with unity 3D. [BUG 864784] HOWEVER, Unity 2D is surprisingly pleasant! I don't feel like I'm using second class software in the slightest. In fact, I rarely notice that I am using unity 2D. It's terrific, thank you guys! I miss the window snap function on the shared edge of the screens. Snap only seems to work on the far edges of the workspace. I would REALLY like display hot-plugging to turn on my external monitor when it's plugged in, but I've adjusted to using the nvidia-settings tool every time I boot my laptop. As for the questions posed by Bryce, here's my two cents as a user: > * Should Unity be mirrored across the monitors? I'd be much happier if unity reflected the application use on that screen. > * Should expo appear on all monitors, but only show windows for the > monitor it's displayed on? yes! > * Should the launcher be displayed on all monitors, and if so, how > should it be shown with a mouse? Perhaps as the mouse approaches the top left corner of the screen, it could slide out much like how the the window snap works. > * Should the dash, expo, spread view, etc, be displayed only on the > monitor where the mouse pointer is, or a window has focused? I think it makes the most sense to follow the mouse, rather than mirroring on both screens. </blockquote> I know that design worked on that the past 3 weeks to look at the multimonitor cases in Unity and it's a target for Oneiric. So yeah, will likely to be discussed at UDS (you can also suggest your ideas on the ayatana mailing list (see <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/">http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/</a>) to reach them.
