I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, trying to configure side-by-side monitors
SystemSettings>Displays: I move the 2nd monitor to the right side
The selected configuration for displays could not be applied
Requested size (2880, 1024) exceeds 3D hardware limit (2048, 2048). You must either rearrange the displays so that they fit within a (2048, 2048) square.
(underneath works, but I'd like to fix it to side-by-side. PS: this hardware works in Windows 7)

Earlier, Fabby asked about my GPU memory, is this what info is needed?
