Hi Bryce,

Thanks for the reply. It asked for a "short description" on my screen. 
Had it asked for a "title" I would have thought of something quite shorter.

I see there is something similar on the wish list for nvidia-settings, 
so I guess it is OK for now. Meanwhile, is there a work around?

OK, the envy thing gets it back to where it was in 8.10, one big desktop across two screens. I don't know that it will survive a reboot because I can't save the configuration. Of course, Ubuntu can run for months without rebooting.  There is a button to save it, but it won't let you unless you are root, and to become root you have to call the thing from a terminal with the gksudo (whatever it is called) command and I don't know what it is called. "NVIDIA X Server Settings" is the title bar, but I doubt that is really it.  If I try that I just get this:  pete@pete-desktop:~$ gksudo NVIDIA X Server Settings pete@pete-desktop:~$  It asks for the password in between, but the NVIDIA X Server Settings doesn't open.  The xorg.conf does not reflect what is really running:  Section "Screen"     Identifier    "Default Screen"     DefaultDepth    24 EndSection  Section "Module"     Load    "glx"     Disable    "dri2" EndSection  Section "Device"     Identifier    "Default Device"     Driver    "nvidia" EndSection  It should have all kinds of stuff in it about the dual screens, twinview, xinerama and all that.
