I upgraded from 12.04 to 13.10, and after that, my secondary monitor doesn't work anymore.



A little more info:



$ xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x1024 0.0*
1024x768 0.0
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0

$ lspci | grep VGA

$ sudo lshw -C video

Even at login screen, it doesn't detect it at all.



So, anyone knows how to fix this?

Solved this issue searching for another display-related problem on this upgrade. here are the steps:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-settings-331


And then restart the computer
