Quote - dual monitors. I never did get the second monitor to display a second image, Laurie... not sure how you accomplished that. Would you have a link?

Well, in Lubuntu I saw a video that told me what to put in to install another display controller (I can't remembe the name of it...lol).

For Mint and Zorin (both Ubuntu as well), the display settings worked for me. I unchecked Mirror Monitors and, since my monitors are reversed - I plugged em in wrong...lol - I just slid the monitor I wanted the taskbar and stuff to be on to the left.

I really liked Zorin btw...for a die-hard Windows user like me it feels "comfy" LOL.
