When I typed glxgears it comes back as a bad request. Let me know anything else I should do. Just trying to get dual monitors worked with extended desktop.

Thanks again.

I messed up this comment so here is what I meant to say: I download both of those to get Virtualbox working so unless I need a different version of those, they should be working on my system. That file from their website still give me the "X Server: unable to detect" message and stops runn...

Thank you for your reply.

I am using a full install and do not know how to uninstall the first drivers I installed.

When I go to Multiple monitors it detects both of them and I can turn them off and on. Is there an option for extended desktop?

That worked! Thank you both for your support. Not sure which file fixed it but it is working now. Not sure if I should start another post for a second quick question, but how should I run a script at start up/ each time I log in? I just want it to run: xset m 20 1 Not sure if I can just add it to a ...

I just tried that sfs and it gives the same error. Do I need to remove the old ones? When I installed that and I think the virtualbox sfs it says some files were skipped. Sorry for my noobishness, but thank you again for your help.

Thank you both for your reply. I just tried installing from your link and it gives the same error. Do I have to remove all the old files? If so, where are all the ones that need removed?
