Public bug reported: I configured xorg.conf to have two separate x-screens, one on my desktop screen and one on my TV (composite cable). It used to work until I upgraded to Jaunty.
What I do : - Plug composite cable from graphical card to TV - Start X What I expect : - An image on my TV and the possibility to move my mouse pointer to the X-screen displayed on TV. What happens : - When I move my mouse to the left (where the 2nd display should be), the mouse gets kinda frozen before reaching the edge of the screen. If I login, all is slow and no bar appear (like taskbar, menubar, I have an empty desktop, at least for an abnormally long time). Xubuntu Jaunty (Xfce) Packet : nvidia-glx-180 lspci -> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) Notes : - It used to work on Interpid and before - I tried several xorg.conf - built using nvidia-settings - built from scratch using ubuntu-fr.org documentation - taken from the internet (ubuntu-fr.org documentation) and it didn't make any difference. - My TV is detected. Indeed, I can check that with nvidia-settings. Besides, if the TV is not plugged, everything works like a charm : the 2nd X-screen is not created. That is the behaviour I expect. (At least the behaviour I am used to). - I tried twinview and it seemed to work : I had an extended desktop on my screen and TV. Perhaps with a black and white image on TV, I don't remember, but I did not investigate any further since twinview does not fit my needs : I want seperate x-screens. - I found this in syslog : "gdm[11131]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0" I have no idea whether or not it is linked to our issue here, but I thought it might explain the fact the no menubar appears. - I tried versions 173 and 96 of the driver and I reproduce the issue with those versions as well. - Attached is a xorg.conf that reproduces the issue. It is a little bit messy. If needed I can try to simplify it to spot the issue. Please tell me if I can provide any useful information. (Just read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting, attaching Xorg log ASAP. I don't remember seeing anything that seemed relevant in it, though.) (The exact package name is nvidia-glx-180, I assumed it corresponds to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180.) ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Jaunty][nvidia] TV out with separate X-screens fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396937 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
