Public bug reported:

Hi All,

I have a Geforce GT8600 graphics card that was working well with dual
monitors (two individual X servers) in Jaunty. On upgrade to Karmic I am
unable to get the dual monitors working. I have tried nvidia-glx-180,
nvidia-glx-185 and nvidia-glx-180-dev. The primary screen is blank,
though the mouse will disappear on to it, so it is clearly there
somewhere! The nv drivers work, but of course can only put the one X
server on both screens.

My xorg.conf file is as follows:

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
