An unofficial (and unacceptable) fix that finally worked for me was to switch to Linux Mint 17.1.

[Bug 1382462] Re: Desktop/windows painted incorrectly in dual monitor configuration
By clicking and dragging at the desktop, I found another interesting observation: Mouse clicks are translated in the following way: * Y coordinate is always correct. * X coordinate is only correct if I click on the right edge of U3011 display - then it is mapped to the right edge of the U3011 display. * If I click near the left edge of U3011 display, but not the launcher, the click is applied to the object displayed at the left edge of the builtin display. * Wherever I click at the builtin display (which doesn't display the launcher, BTW), the result of the click is not visible (I don't know where it goes). Knowing this I managed to move windows and open Ubuntu display settings, which are correct. Resolutions and displays relative positions are correct. I also manged to display a context menu and, *surprise*, it is rendered correctly (no stretching). To summarize: - top status bar and menus at the right top corner: OK - context menus: OK - launcher: renders OK and operational on U3011, but not displayed on builtin screen - wallpaper: stretched horizontally across both screens - windows: stretched horizontally across both screens I guess the problem with mouse clicks is not that mouse events are broken, but the content of the screen is painted in wrong place. So what was to be painted only on U3011 was stretched and painted on both, and that's why it got out of sync with mouse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382462 Title: Desktop/windows painted incorrectly in dual monitor configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1382462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Both displays get detected properly and resolutions are ok (1920x1080 on the builtin laptop display and 2560x1600 on U3011) and screen contents scaled properly. 2. Then I log into my account, for 3 seconds U3011 displays some rubbish (but it was always like that) and when it finally logs in, it displays everything stretched horizontally through both my screens. It looks as if it tried to paint the contents of a single display on two of them, by stretching the content horizontally, so everything (icons, windows, wallpaper) has wrong aspect-ratio. Funny, the top status bar seem to render correctly. Physical resolution of both screens is ok. I'll attach a photo, because it is hard to describe how it looks. 3. I cannot use system in this state - mouse click position seems to not be synchronized with what's on the display - e.g. I can start applications, but then they don't react to mouseclicks. However: booting up without the second display connected, logging in and *then* connecting the second display works fine. - I tried deleting ~/.compiz and ~/.config/compiz-1 directories but the problem remains. - I also tried to go into the Displays configuration when everything is ok, apply the settings there (without any changes) in hope it will persist them somehow, but after restart it is broken again. + If I boot up with connected monitor and log in (desktop distorted), disconnecting and connecting monitor does *not* help. After disconnecting the U3011, the builtin display is painted ok, but after connecting, it returns back to the incorrect state and both are rendered incorrectly. + The only thing that helps recovering from this state seems to be disconnecting the second monitor, reboot, loggin in and then connecting. + + BTW: I'm using a docking station - not sure if it is related - if you + think it might be, I can try with connecting the monitor directly. + + + I tried deleting ~/.compiz and ~/.config/compiz-1 directories but the problem remains. + I also tried to go into the Displays configuration when everything is ok, apply the settings there (without any changes) in hope it will persist them somehow, but after restart it is broken again. I also tried reinstalling nvidia 331.89 drivers, because it complained about not being able to install nvidia-uvm during the upgrade process (reported separately), and now all nvidia packages installed cleanly. Before that I also got rid of all the ppa mainline kernels I had, just in case they mess something up. I remember the same problem happened on Ubuntu 14.04 when I tried to upgrade nvidia from ppa/xorg-edgers to 331.89, but then the easy workaround was to downgrade back to official 331.38.
