[Bug 898044] Re: nVidia forgets that TwinView is on

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected oneiric ubuntu

** Description changed:

  After upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, the nVidia card 'forgets' that I
  have TwinView active, and restricts the display to one out of two
  monitors only.
  
  One way to reproduce:
  1) Start NX Client session (I use this to connect to my other machine), set the NX window to one screen
  2) Start Picasa 3 on other window.
  
  When Picasa starts up, the screens flicker.  Next, all windows are back
  to 1 screen only, other screen contains a frozen last displayed frame.
