Title:
  nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X

Status in gnome-desktop package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in gnome-desktop source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Problem]
  The proprietary nVidia driver seems to be treating the two 1920x1200 monitors as one 3840x1200 monitor. This resolution is then not supported by the X Server, causing the error message on login: 

  'Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors
  X Server does not support size requested'

  However, the display still works as expected.

  
  [Original]
  Since upgrading to Lucid, I am getting the following dialog warning on login:

  'Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors
  X Server does not support size requested'

  I think this is related to the reported dimensions when using the
  NVIDIA proprietary driver with dual heads in twin view. See
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477254 for details.
