comment Computer won't wake from suspend
This is interesting because when I go into system settings > details my "Graphics" are listed as "Unknown". I expect in the proper circumstances that my video card would be displayed there, because it is recognized by 'lspci' but not in the system details.

comment I cannot see Blender. What information do I need to fix this?
I re-installed Ubuntu 12.04 and blender after backing up all my files and everything is working just fine now. I must have messed something up playing with the sudo command trying to make my monitors work. I forgot to update this question when it happened. Thanks to everyone who responded.

@nem75. YOU"RE A GENIUS! I found a DVI to VGA adaptor, made it so both monitors are now plugged into my geforce 210 switched everything to twin view and now everything looks great! Everything looks, like Precise Pangolin again, but the alt-tab switcher effects, the workspace switcher effects are still not so fresh looking. Looking into it now.

Twin view is unavailable as an option. It is there but it is gray and unselectable.

I had to reboot, go into BIOS > Advanced > Chipset > and change "Share memory" from "Auto" to "256MB", then in Ubuntu I went to the Nvidia X server, I had to enable the second monitor. I guess I lucked out with the VGA ports because I got the monitors from a thrift store, both for $15.00USD! They're not the best but they work great outside a few scratches on the one. Good info for anyone building computers on a budget.

Well I don't know what to tell you, I have both monitors running just fine. One out of my motherboard 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] [10de:03d6] (rev a2) and one out of my graphics card 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] [10de:0a65] (rev a2)

Well lets pray that the upstanding citizens at Ubuntu Bug Center can iron this one out. The dual screens are awesome by the way, Thanks again for the tip.
