Nvidia graphical driver
This is required to manage many screen on Nvidia chipsets.
!! As of now (November 2013) Ubuntu cannot work with Nvidia Optimus technology !! You have to disable it from your bios (under video > Optimus).
Nvidia driver:
apt-get install nvidia-current-updatesReboot after installation. Then you should be able to configure your screens.
