Btw, I expect this still affects Precise, but if someone would like to verify that, it would boost the priority of this bug for our development work. If you don't want to install Ubuntu Precise, it should be sufficient to boot a Live USB session, configure the monitors, and see if it is working properly now.You can get the current Live USB desktop image at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and create a USB boot drive using usb-creator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577640 Title: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop/+bug/577640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 577640] Re: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X
The error message comes from this patch to gnome-desktop: ./debian/patches/100_load_desired_settings.patch:+ "X server does not support size requested"); So, gnome is attempting to load your existing ~/.config/monitors.xml however in some situations gnome will attempt to use Xrandr 1.2 functionality (such as to arrange monitors side-by-side), which nvidia does not support (nvidia only has xrandr 1.0 support currently). Of course, the xorg.conf setting up NVIDIA has already established the desired layout so gnome's action here is entirely superfluous (and should not be attempted). If I'm correct, then one simple workaround would be to delete your ~/.config/monitors.xml. With Twinview set in your xorg.conf you don't need a monitors.xml. At some point NVIDIA will likely support xrandr 1.4, which is one possible way this will be resolved. I don't have a public ETA on that, but if that happens in the next few months and gets included in Precise we might consider that a "solution" (although unless Twinview is removed from nvidia (unlikely), it will still be possible to turn that on and still see this problem.) The more proper solution, and the one I think this bug report should focus on, would be for gnome-desktop to recognize when TwinView (or Xinerama) is enabled, and in those cases don't attempt to process monitors.xml and just bail out. ** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577640 Title: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop/+bug/577640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

>From http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html someone left this suggestion: Hi guys, I figured this out with natty 11.04, and wanted to post what i did. From the arch linux wiki, i used nvidia-xconfig --twinview to enable twinview, then nvidia-settings --load-config-only to make sure the settings pages loaded. Then in unity i went into the nvidia settings program and tweaked. Much easier then editing the x11 file manually. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577640 Title: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/577640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 577640] Re: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X
I have just installed Oneiric final release and this issue is worse for me too. I cannot setup dualview with nvidia settings at. But when I try and set it, the screen goes completely corrupted for 20 seconds and then when it comes back I save the xorg.conf. When I log out and log in I do however have the dual screen that I want but something is still wrong. When I go into expo mode the screen on the left draws the animation fine but the screen on the right looks terrible, it's like it shows a snapshot of frames in between the zoom out animation. really not a pleasant experience at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577640 Title: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/577640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 577640] Re: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X
The bug is still here in Oneiric and unfortunately, it's now worse. Before, the error message was just an annoyance, but now it apparently kills compiz and leaves you with a very ugly looking desktop. Combined with other bugs for nVida in a dual monitor setup, Oneiric is just about unusable for me and my laptop + separate screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577640 Title: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/577640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm having the same issue here when trying to use 3 monitors. xrandr seems to be outputting a huge error log to notify-osd for some reason, which is causing notify-osd to use 100% cpu. I've attached a debug log from notify-osd, showing the error output from xrandr, in-case it helps. ** Attachment added: "notify.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/577640/+attachment/1762211/+files/notify.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577640 Title: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 577640] Re: nVidia TwinView resolution not supported by X
I have this bug too. At first it was super annoying as the configuration reverted to what was in my xorg.conf file which was set to an older configuration set up with different monitors. The annoying part was it switched my monitors so that the left one was on the right. My set up is a 1680x1050 on the left and a 1280x1024 on the right. I edited the xorg.conf file to put the 1680 first and made the other +1680 for the position.
