Public bug reported:

After nvidia installation I got 6 screens on one display, I tried to
install newest driver from nvidia.com but same thing. Looking on ubuntu
forum I found this solution:

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Look for Section ¨Device¨

Add this line:

 Option "ModeValidation" "NoTotalSizeCheck"

Restart X

It´s solved at this way, but I think we should have this note on release
notes for Jaunty at least, also if it´s possible the program nvidia-
xconfig should detect the video card and add this line itself.
