Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
Running edgy on Dell Inspiron 2650, with nVidia GeForce2 Go. Running
TwinView
Many stability problems in X/gnome which only present when running
accelerated graphics.
1. Gnome doesn't start properly on both monitors. Have to kill gdm and
restart it. Otherwise, secondary (built in) screen displays two gray
bars and nothing else but still exists (I can move my mouse off the
primary screen). Restarting gdm allows for functioning TwinView.
2. Cannot use consoles. ctrl-alt-fX goes to console, but type is so
dim it cannot be read. Cannot switch back to console 7 (xorg)
3. Cannot shutdown properly. Gnome appears to unload, then second
screen goes black, primary screen goes black then displays a number of
coloured blocks
I will attach photos of this behaviour since I can't screendump. Also
my xorg logs (all).
I realise you probably need more info than this so point me in the right
direction and I'll try to get it.
Using latest edgy packages. Behaviour has been present since Dapper at
least, if not Breezy. Never reported before because I didn't know
enough about the problem to explain it.
