    Are you trying to setup dual monitors?
    because, as far as I know every monitor is external(except for laptop)
    What disto and graphics card you are using?

    if you are using nvidia card

    sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

    then

    nvidia-settings

    you can set it up easily.

    If not system->preferences->Display
