Hi Steve, I finally got around to installing Natty on my desktop with my
dual monitor setup. The directions you gave below are correct for those
whose setup works OOTB. When I was on the LiveCD, I was not in a Unity
session, but I was able to use the Monitors utility to setup the dual
head. After install I needed to use the NVIDIA X Server Settings to
configure my setup. However, these directions look OK for basic setup.
The diff is coming through as unformatted text so there aren't any
indents in the XML. I've done my best to format it, removed the use of
contractions ("you are" instead of "you're"), and removed "How to" from
the description.
Thanks,
-Connor
