Bug Description

When attempting to set up a second monitor on my notebook, I can get the second monitor to mirror the notebook monitor but can't extend my desktop onto the second monitor. I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy Beta with GL desktop enabled. I haven't hacked xorg.conf at all.

If I run displayconfig-gtk from the command line, it fails with the following output when testing "Extend default screen..."

mdoube@doris:~$ sudo displayconfig-gtk
[sudo] password for mdoube:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":1.0".
