How do I disable monitor mirroring w/ LXDE Ubuntu 12.04
I'm trying to set up my two monitors so they're not mirroring each other.
I've tried going to
Preferences --> Monitor Settings
There, both of my moitors are detected, and I can Turn them on/off, change the resolution and refresh rate, but there is no option for enabling/disabling monitor mirroring.
Obviously, I'm missing something here.
I stumbled across the following commands:
xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --right-of DVI-0
But I don't know what they do, and am afraid to try them because I won't know how to fix them if they mess things up.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm running Lubuntu & here's some possibly pertinent information.
