[Bug 526955] Re: NVIDIA X Server configuration not working
David, thanks for this advice which inspired another workaround: After clicking the "Detect Displays" button (which will recognize the new screen and the loss of the old one) select "Apply" before configuring the new screen. Only after switching to a one-screen set-up, configure the new screen. This procedure will leave the configuration intact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526955 Title: NVIDIA X Server configuration not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re comment 6: I get this in Maverick too. I've found the advice in this forum post helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047029 Basically you can use the command-line to tell nvidia-settings to reset which displays are present. It then properly forgets about the old display and allows you to use the dialog to detect the new one. I'm using the latest packaged drivers (260.19.06-0ubuntu1) Here's a short script that should reset to only using the laptop's local LCD: #!/bin/bash echo Current display status nvidia-settings -d -q AssociatedDisplays echo Configuring to only know about LCD display nvidia-settings -a AssociatedDisplays=0x0001 echo Updated display status nvidia-settings -d -q AssociatedDisplays ** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526955 Title: NVIDIA X Server configuration not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I still see this problem in Lucid when ever I unplug one screen, attach another and then try to change the NVidia setup accordingly. The change works but when I start the NVidia tool again it shows the message mentioned above and I'm stuck until the next X-server restart. This confirms that the bug still exists in a current version of Ubuntu. Can you please change the status back to 'New'? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526955 Title: NVIDIA X Server configuration not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 526955] Re: NVIDIA X Server configuration not working
This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu. Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty? If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty' so it's easier for us to track. ** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526955 Title: NVIDIA X Server configuration not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I get a similar error message: " Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0.

Also, the "window movement key" stopped working (moving a window by holding down alt-key + grabbing the window). This problem disappeared when I logged out and the X server was restarted.
