Ubuntu Studio

G'day Folk's.
I am running an old Toshiba Satellite M40.
I removed the winXP and installed Ubuntu 10.04.
It ran extremely sluggishly. As though it needed a more powerful computer to work in.

I downloaded Ubuntu Studio 10.04.
Removed Ubuntu and installed Ubuntu Studio.

The laptop now runs beautifully at a much faster speed than the old winXP ever managed. It is now working just as we have all come to expect from Linux.

My problem is that in Ubuntu Studio I can't find any-where to create more than 1 usable screen.
I seem to have gone from the Ubuntu multi-screen ability, back to the windows single-screen

Is this right? Or have I done something wrong?

Try right clicking on the workspace switcher(bottom right of taskbar) and select 4 workspaces.

If that don't work check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=73232586

Beauty, Jmtjet.
Thankyou.
Now that you point me to the 'right click' I remember a similar problem a lo-o-o-o-ng time ago.
So:
Once again 'Thankyou".
I am up and running.
