[Fred <ian.bews@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have added your PPA and the upgraded the following packages via synaptic from version 180.44 to 185.18.14:
nvidia-180-kernel-source
nvidia-180-libvdpau
nvidia-180-modaliases
nvidia-glx-180

I then re-booted, altered my nvidia-settings to "separate X screen" and
logged out and in again.

The bug remains.

The second screen shows only blackness with a mouse pointer on it.
Instead of one seamless pointer moving over the 2 screens I have two
pointers (one on each screen) and when I move from one screen to another
the pointer on the old screen just freezes till I come back.

When I log out, the second screen briefly shows my wallpaper.

Also there appears to be a regression with this new driver. Ctrl-Alt-F1
- Ctrl-Alt-F6 VTs are now blank screens as well (actually on my second
attempt at testing this I managed to get white flashy graphical
corruption over both monitors on all VTs (even though the 2nd monitor
wasn't enabled) and I had to reboot via the terminal (which works just
fine even when you can't actually see it ;-D ).

I'm going to downgrade back to 180.44 for the time being.

Thanks for your help...
