[Bug 1417826] Re: display acting up. overlay .. ?

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Morten Hendevad, just to clarify, if you switch to a GNOME Flashback
(Metacity) session, is the issue reproducible?

** Description changed:

- With nvidia 331.113 I have to manually configure dual screen layout (by
- doing what precisely?). However, if I remove this manually configured
- layout it fails.
+ With nvidia 331.113 or 346.59 after configuring dual screen layout via
+ System Tools > Settings > Displays, sometimes both screens are on the
+ same monitor and it scrolls sideways.
  
- With this WORKAROUND in place, sometimes both screens are on the same
- monitor and it scrolls sideways (may be due to manual configuration
- error).
- 
- tested nvidia 346 same thing.
+ However, if I remove this manually configured layout it fails (in what
+ way?).
  
  With nvidia 304 my second monitor stopped working.
  
- With nouveau the mouse cursor is streaking, and the performance isn't as
- good as nvidia.
+ WORKAROUND: Use nouveau. However, nvidia out performs it.
