Dual monitor possible?

[Ashley Benton]

Thank you, that did work. Sorry I was tired and I read the book wrong,
should have found out but I didn't. If I want to work with vim do I have to
open it like that: "terminal$ sudo vim" or do I have to become root and open
it once I am root?  If I have to become root how do I do that? Is it my user
password or another? Sorry I didn't try it yet, just learning.
Thank you
Megan
