[Bug 773387] [NEW] Left monitor displays blank screen in Unity

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

My laptop screen has a monitor to the left of it with Xinerama enabled.
After updating to 11.04 and restarting, the login desktop appeared on
both screens.  However, after logging in Ubuntu 11.04, the entire left
screen is blank (although the mouse cursor can move over to that side).
I would have expected the desktop to extend into the left screen and for
both screens to be rendered correctly.  Since the Unity bar is on the
left, this makes the system impossible to use or fix.  I had to remove
the monitor and restart.
