I have just installed Ubuntu in an attempt to migrate to Linux, but I can't get it to handle two monitor setup.
One monitor connected to DP works alright (Dell U2715H).
When I connect the second monitor (Dell U2414H) to the first one through DisplayPort (daisy chain), the second monitor just mirrors the content of the first one.
The second monitor not shown in Settings->Displays.
Is there an option to run two daisy chained monitors in Ubuntu?

Notice the post in there:Prior to enabling DisplayPort 1.2 on the U2715H, both monitors came up fine in mirrored mode, though neither NVIDIA X Server Settings nor Displays detected the VG248. After enabling DisplayPort 1.2 features on the U2715H, The VG248 was detected, but blank. Now everything is OK (until the system sleeps or reboots, presumably).My feeling... I would connect the 2nd monitor to HDMI. Saves a lot of time and frustration.~$ uname -r-->4.8.0-52-generic
