Ubuntu Video Issues

Am troubleshooting a couple of video issues with no luck so far. I have a custom BSP based on the i.MX6Q device and a Ubuntu Linux file system. I have two video sources - one HDMI monitor and one LVDS flat panel. The issues are:

1. Under the Ubuntu GUI selecting “Displays…” indicates only one monitor and it is identified as unknown. The other monitor is not identified but can still be used to display video.

2. Cannot stretch the desktop across multiple monitors. Have tried to edit the xorg.conf settings with no luck. If I enable the “Xinerama” option, then the display menu selection returns “RANDR extension is not present”. Current xorg.conf file.

Any insight or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try renaming xorg.conf to something simple like xorg.conf.old, reboot the machine and see what happens. Xorg can boot without a config file...the question is, will it work properly? If it doesn't work, rename that file back to xorg.conf and try something else. What kind of video card is it?
Make sure that all monitors are set to VGA as it may help detect them better but this is just a guess.

what card are you using i had aloot of tttroubleeee configing my nvs 290 so i just used it as extend and finaly just went to oneeeee moniter if i didnt install updddddates duuuuring inssssstal then axtivate recommendded driver it wouldent boot into a gggui on second boot up sorry for the extra characters immm using a bt kkkeyboard aaand its not cooooperating
