  Hi,
  
  I have recently moved to Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and am running Kernal
  Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae and gnome 2.28.1.
  
  I have a dual monitor running off Geforce 8600 GT video card. The device
  driver on xorg.conf have been set to the genetic "nv" drivers w/ display
  setting used to allow the primary monitor to bleed into the second
  screen rather than using the propriety "nvidia" drivers w/ twinspan
  option on (this caused conflicts with various java programs I am using).
  
  The problem is that when booting the system I find that although
  visually the screens look OK, when I try and drag a window into the
  second screen 90% of the window will go but 10% will not -- it is as if
  I hit a wall.
  
  If I use "configure the display settings" to mirror the screens (and
  apply), then untick mirror screens(and apply), the screens are OK again
  -- i.e. the windows can be dragged back and forth OK.
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
  
  Simon
