Have you got another screen that your trying to setup??? Sounds also like you may have chose the wrong display. If not then have you not tried to re trace your foot steps and change your screen res? ie system/hardware/screen res. (Depends on the version of course) Post some more details like what version. Kind regards. P.s Sharma will probably have the answer for you very shortly.

Try that and if that doesn't work get back to us. Also, why were you trying to configure two screens? Do you wish to run two screens? What graphics card do you have? And finally, what Linux distribution are you running? Alpinesatan, thanks for the vote of confidence :) Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress.
