Pablo Piaggio, thank you for testing Trusty. Could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker?
As well, was there a release newer than 10.04, but older than 12.04 that did not demonstrate this problem? ** Tags added: trusty ** Description changed: Unable to set up 2 separate X screens on 12.04 (this works on 10.04). - What I did: fresh install of Ubuntu 64bits. Then upgraded. Then try to - set up 2 separate X screens (2 monitors). - - It didn't work on nouveau, nvidia-current, nvidia (post release - updates), and nvidia-experimental-310. - - The behaviour is the same regardless of the driver used: + set up 2 separate X screens (2 monitors). It didn't work on nouveau, + nvidia-current, nvidia (post release updates), and nvidia- + experimental-310.
