[Bug 1305264] Re: Incorrect display when using monitor on the left on NVIDIA Optimus Card

 

I was able to install Nvidia Driver 346.35 (as it was the latest version
available in the repository), the situation is indeed beter. The
graphics is no longer corrupted. I am able to use my monitor positioned
on the left side.

There is however one issue, the screen is visible to Ubuntu as  a
single, big instance instead of two separate screens. I mean that if I
make a window full screen, instead of going full screen on the monitor
on which it is positioned, it spans accross two monitors.

Additionally I don't know if that's relevant, but Ubuntu's Display tool
sees correctly two screens while nvidia-settings shows only one (which
is incorrect), please see attachment.

PS. I am running Vivid build from 1st of March.

Title:
  Incorrect display when using monitor on the left on NVIDIA Optimus
  Card

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using configuring screen to be placed on the left side Unity
  behaves incorrectly. The screen on the left monitor is containing
  duplication of the main screen. This means that when I reach edge of
  the external display the content contains duplicated copy of main
  display which is scrolled as I move cursor. The same content is shown
  on the main display.
