Public bug reported:
This is related to fixing the #1 bug. I found it hard to configure dual
screens on Kubuntu Jaunty.
1) I have never succeeded with the NVIDIA driver using the NVIDIA's
tool. I don't know if it is the KDE or X that fails to full fill the
definitions. I always get some corruption on the screen. But I'm willing
to put this aside since the driver doesn't support XRANDR. And I truly
hope this changes in the future behalf of NVIDIA...
2) I tried with the Nouveau driver; since it is XRANDR 1.2 enabled. I
was able to modify screen resolutions with ease with KDE's System
Settings and the XRANDR rotation tool (installed by default). Very nice
since I haven't been always able to do this! But still so very standard!
And when I wanted something else than clone I was forced to do both 1)
modify the XORG by hand and 2) to create complex scripts to handle the
XRANDR. Very hard, not a good out-of-the-box experience... :(
