You were wondering about switching to Ubuntu, I seem to remember... 

Ubuntu has put effort into letting users configure dual monitors with a 
GUI (inspired by what Apple had working 20-years ago).  And it works for 
some, but didn't work for me. 

Ubuntu 8.04 seems a bit too rough around the edges for what they were 
aiming at, though one of my biggest complaints is that support for 
Panasonic-specific function keys seems to have been removed from the 
mainstream kernel awhile ago and now has been dropped by Ubuntu, too.
