I have my VMware Player (v 3.1.4 build-385536) all up and running Ubuntu (11.04) from my Windows (XP SP2) machine, but now I'm getting greedy and want to run Ubuntu on both monitors.
I've tried manually setting the display options within the VMware Player settings to 2 to no avail. I've also set it to use the host configuration... it doesn't work. What gives?
You might be able to find it from your computer manufacturer, so for example if you have an HP desktop you could find it from HP's website. Not sure if they will carry an Umbuntu compatible driver or not though, but it be worth checking. If not you should be able to find it at Intel's website. after doing a short search on both google and intels site its seems that there may not be support for your video card on Ubuntu. You may want to consider upgrading your video card, I know Nvidia provides support for Linux, and I am sure ATI does as well. You can get a new card pretty cheap from newegg. – Dan – 2011-09-22T19:22:03.037

Before doing anything else you should probably take a look at this video, it's for an older version of Ubuntu, but it should still work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFX5UssUgcs
