Hi! On a fresh installation of Kubuntu 18.04 on a desktop computer I have this problem: I have two monitors attached. In "System Settings -> Display and Monitor" I cannot see my two monitors. My display is just duplicated across the two, and I have no option to extend it across them.
It might have to do with my graphics card. My card is an ATI Radeon HD 5750.
I had to boot the installer with the flag nomodeset just to get it to start (as described in this thread). Now I do not explicitly set any nomodeset parameter when booting Kubuntu, but maybe it has set some system setting; I don't know.
I tried looking for drivers. The AMD website does not have a driver for my specific card for (K)ubuntu 18.04. It does have one for Ubuntu 14.04, but that DEB cannot run because it cannot satisfy dependencies. There is also a generic "Linux" driver on the AMD website, but I want to ask before I try to install that.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get my monitors recognized?
Thanks in advance!
