Hey! I know there is already a topic on this (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18939.0), but the instructions didn't work for me. I'm a total n00b at the moment, and I am having a lot of trouble getting my multiple monitors to show different images. I've been running around buying uber cheap monitors for a while, and have only recently gotten VGA splitters. I am running this off a laptop, so at the moment I have to vga splitters connected to the one vga port, with three monitors connected to those.

According to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1075932
sudo aticonfig --dtop=horizontal
^that command^ should help me.

the only problem is, I use the command and I get:
aticonfig: command not found

so, I did some browsing and came across the first link, and followed the instructions through a terminal.
