I recently migrated to Ubuntu from Windows. And for some strange reason the screen that boots up functions as though there are two different screens on the same monitor. Since I am new to Ubuntu I don't have much knowledge so any help will be highly appreciated. Thank You! PS: Visit http://goo.gl/gyXtGr for image

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please explain further what you mean with "One screen inside the other"? I don't think this is clear enough. Also, a bit more information might be necessary to help you. E.g. What graphics card are you using and with which driver?

  • @the_Seppi I can't see the image on the OP's link, but his description sounded clearly like an image overlap to me. He also clearly described misplaced dual windows/screens. He might have taken more words, but I don't think it could have been much clearer that he had two screens that weren't placed correctly. Aug 23, 2014 at 16:11

Look at your System Settings controls. You can get to the screen options to configure your screens by:

  • Click on the top right icon in the notification bar (the same one used for logging out and turning off the computer.
  • Click System Settings
  • Click Displays

From there drag your montiors the way they should be.

The controls includes positioning the various monitors, or turning them on or off. If your system has a bogus one, then use this configuration area to turn off the bogus monitor.

The are other options to get you to better configuration options of your graphics card's features. Run Additional Drivers.

You can get there by typing "Additional Drivers" for search in Ubuntu's launch button. Select an alternate driver for your graphics adapter.
