[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#515527: base: dual screen functionality does not work

[Barry Horne]

Package: base
Severity: important

I have attached dual wide screen monitors to my GeForce 9600GT graphics card.  After installation of Debian the PC 
reboots and instead of GDM appearing I simply get a blank black screen.  Cntrl-Alt-Fx does not respond either.  I 
have discovered that disconnecting the second display does allow X (upon reboot) to start normally, and the system 
is quite usable with a single screen.
