Default Dual Monitor Screen Resolution difference

I have ubuntu, and whenever i go to graphics and resolution. i enable my second monitor. i make it the screen resolution i want it to be, and i make my primary resolution the resolution i want it to be

1:
1680 x 1050

2:
1280 x 768

But when i do that, i log off then log on. my resolution on my primary is all messed up, along with my resolution on my second

it worked fine and easy on windows?

There is probably a driver issue with Ubuntu...

My advice: stick with Windows LOL

I see where you are coming from.

The problem is that Linux is less point and click then Windows and there will always be things that you will have to figure out yourself. Nothing is as well supported on Ubuntu or similar.

Have you tired posting on the Ubuntu forums or emailing the manufacturer?

yea. i cant wait for hardy, i saw your post looks intense. 10 monitors =O

also, honestly, i don't like the ease of windows, i like to learn about computers and codes. so i learn a lot using linux and therefor that adds on to me liking it.
