[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 366743] Re: Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia)
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could test the current Ubuntu development version? It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Jaunty 9.04 will be End Of Support (EOS) on 2010-10-23, so it is suggested that if you are still using this version, please upgrade your system. The latest development version, Maverick Meerkat, is now in the final week of testing before it is released as 10.10. Thanks again and we appreciate your help. -- Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

It seems that this bug is not nVidia's fault. There is an other bug opened here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-180/+bug/444154 4 people with ATI cards have the same problem, with the mouse stuck on the secondary screen.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 366743] Re: Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia)
I have just struggled with a similar issue for the last several days: Ubuntu 9.04 (AMD64) with NVidia drivers I have a primary monitor in 1024x768 and a projector in 1920x1080 and prefer to run with separate x-screens. This worked fine in Ubunty 8.04, but with Ubuntu 9.04 the 2nd screen did not work properly. After a bunch of messing around I finally realized that the problem is that there is no screen1 directory in /.gconf/apps/compiz. There is a screen0 directory there though. To fix the issue I did the following: 1) Installed CompizConfig Manager using - sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager 2) In the CompizConfig Settings Manager - General Options - Display Settings - Disabled Detect Outputs - Set Outputs to 1024x768+0+0 3) In a terminal - cd .gconf/apps/compiz - mkdir screen1 - cp -r screen0/* screen1 - cd screen1/options - vi %gconf.xml -- Modified resolution to 1920x1080 4) I rebooted and everything works fine (except the mouse still has that odd behavior) -- Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Here is a fix until the bug is fixed, I have been using it on another computer for a different compiz related issue. I found it during a search a long time ago and had worked well. #!/bin/bash sleep 2 DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --only-current-screen --replace disown $! sleep 2 DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --only-current-screen --replace disown $! -- Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 366743] Re: Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia)
I have added your PPA and the upgraded the following packages via synaptic from version 180.44 to 185.18.14: nvidia-180-kernel-source nvidia-180-libvdpau nvidia-180-modaliases nvidia-glx-180 I then re-booted, altered my nvidia-settings to separate X screen and logged out and in again. The bug remains. The second screen shows only blackness with a mouse pointer on it. Instead of one seamless pointer moving over the 2 screens I have two pointers (one on each screen) and when I move from one screen to another the pointer on the old screen just freezes till I come back. When I log out, the second screen briefly shows my wallpaper. Also there appears to be a regression with this new driver. Ctrl-Alt-F1 - Ctrl-Alt-F6 VTs are now blank screens as well (actually on my second attempt at testing this I managed to get white flashy graphical corruption over both monitors on all VTs (even though the 2nd monitor wasn't enabled) and I had to reboot via the terminal (which works just fine even when you can't actually see it ;-D ). I'm going to downgrade back to 180.44 for the time being.

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA, would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it resolves this bug?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 366743] Re: Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia)
I can confirm this bug for nvidia-graphics-driver-173. I was using separate X screen on my nvidia Geforce FX 5950 with my CRT (1280x1024) and TV (1024x768) since ubuntu 8.04. I set this up with nvidia-settings. Since I updated to Jaunty I encounter exactly the same problems as Fred does. Restarting compiz leads to the the second x-screen showing up but without any function (you see the desktop and panels but there is no interaction possible, only the mousepointer can be moved) This was all working fine in 8.04 and 8.10. Don't know which driver-versions I used at that time (but a nvidia-driver for sure). The only application visible on the second X screen is elisa by starting it with DISPLAY=:0.1 elisa. (maybe because it's fullscreen?) I really hope this gets fixed. -- Separate X screen blank in Jaunty (nvidia) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
