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

 

FWIW, after today's updates, I managed to get twinview (partially)
working.

Previously, whenever I enabled twinview, Unity just plain crashed, and
literally all I was left with was my desktop wallpaper. I had to save
Nvidia's settings to xorg.conf in order to get dual monitors, but even
then I was having the tray-clicking issues described in #36.

Right now, I can enable twinview (it definitely still is a little
finicky - you HAVE to select "you this as my main screen" on one of the
screens, and it doesn't always work the first time) without Unity
crashing, and it seems to work perfectly after that. However, the
settings don't get saved; so if you restart your machine you'll start
with a single screen and have to reconfigure them.

This doesn't bother me too terribly as this machine will hardly get
rebooted, but I'm sure its still a deal-breaker for many. Hope it helps,
anyway.

gfx card: GeForce 9300 GE
driver version: 280.13
kernel: 3.0.0-12-generic-pae
