[Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black

 

Hi psypher,

my desktop looked exactly the same when using supe-s as shown in your
screenshot.

What i did: booted into recovery mode and removed nvidia-current AND
nvidia-settings:

apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current nvidia-settings

Then I searched for ALL occurences of nvidia*[current|settings] and
removed them from the filesystem.

rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nvidia_settings_conf
rm -rf /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current
rm -rf /usr/src/nvidia-current-280.13
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-current* 
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-settings.*

Rebooted the machine.
Then I started unity and installed nvidia-current with  jockey-gtk and rebooted again.
I use a minimal xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Default Device"
        Option  "NoLogo"        "True"
        #Option  "RandRRotation" "on"
EndSection

Hope this helps.
