Hay guys, I have just updated to gnome 3 today.

Now my screen has been cut inhalf o.O.

Its realy weird the panel is at the top of my screen but the panel is huge,  it takes up almost half of my screen?

But my big problem is I can't set up my dual screens, Once I take them off mono an click apply im told it dosent suport the resolution...
But I know its dose

Re: Help Gnome 3 dual screen error

Try a workaround:

Are you using a xorg.conf? Try to create a new one with corrects displays resolutions and about.

If nvidia card: "nvidia-xconifg -A" for advanced configuration help,  like twinview or Xinerama:

e.g. nvidia-xconfig --twinview and nvidia-xconfig --xinerama ...

For other cards and/or more details, please read about Xorg config in Arch Wiki.

Re: Help Gnome 3 dual screen error

a program called disper may be able to help.

to get extended desktop:  disper -e
single primary display: disper -s

disper automatically detects displays and the best possible resolution.   haven't tested it on GNOME3 yet.

I thought disper was for nvidia?  I use ATI  5750.
I was thinking it might be because im useing catalyst?
and gnome is pickning up my graphs as VESA: JUNIPER

If you're using Catalyst, you should be configuring your displays using amdcccle.
