<p>I had dual screen working previously. Now every time I try to setup dual screens and reboot. I get logged in as tty mode, i am able to get one screen working, or have my desktop span both screen ( one huge screen) what i require is two independent screens, that I can drag windows between.</p> <p>This is frustrating...
