[nailhead33 <nailhead33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you on this, I've been out of the country quite a bit.
I have upgraded Ubuntu to 9.04 (jaunty).
I have installed all the nvidia 180 packages.
Everything seems to work.

Thanks!

> Twinview (laptop screen and external screen via docking station) does NOT work using v180 driver.  I can display one screen or the other, but I cannot turn on both together.  Screen sizes indicate a full twinview screen (double width), and the working screen may scroll across to show the whole space, but the second monitor does not turn on.
