The output is the same both as root and as standard user.

Steps To Reproduce

Connect two displays to the video card (VGA, DVI or HDMI) and boot Kali.

Additional Information

This seems an upstream (Debian) bug too. The driver into the kernel of wheezy-backports should solve this issue.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
