Yes, xrandr appears to see my monitor. I get something like: VGA-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 250mm 1920x1200 60.0 1920x1080 59.9 1600x1200 70.0 65.0 60.0 .... LVDS connected.... The monitor appears mirrored after reboot. However, when I enter the 'xrandr -right-of' my gnome session hangs completely. The mouse still moves but none of the windows or controls respond. I'm using the standard drivers here. Perhaps I need different drivers?
