Sebastian,

Just turned off Xinerama (for a few minutes).
For some reason, the system is unable to use both screens without Xinerama.
Played with this a lot when I upgraded to 20.04 from 16.04 (worked nicely
before upgrade).
FWIW, cursor is a big X on second screen, but no background and no moving
windows onto it.

2022-05-09 Thread Stan Tomlinson
two HDMI screens side-by-side
2 old nvidia cards (both GeForce 8400GS)
nvidia driver 340.108 (latest version, required by cards)
Xinerama enabled
software kept fully up-to-date with stable release

Side comment -- gnome seems to crash a lot.
This is first situation where I can use gdb to get stack information.
