If you're using Gnome, there's a "displays" option in the system
settings set of configurators, or a "screen resolution" item in one of
the system menus, in it is a "mirror displays" option, which really
means both displays show the same as each other, rather than showing a
mirror (backwards) image.
Most of these things are easy to find if people just look at the menus.
Do you know what file the setting are maintained in? I do not use Gnome
and would like to be able to edit the appropriate files rather than
being so dependent on GUI interfaces.
Thanks for any info,
Don
