Since I got back from vacation, I've been running the wider of the two monitors solo using the VGA input. It worked fine for a little bit, but the last few days I've had about one crash per day where it blacks in exactly the same fashion as before. Often it happens when I'm listening to a podcast

I havn't found a converter, but I did try the larger monitor on VGA for a day at work and it ran without problem. It had been on DVI before. I'm away from the office this week (It's Thanksgiving in the US) but I will try to find the parts and try the converter test next week. Just to be clear,

Ah, Bug Control have arrived :-D I have suspicions about it being related to certain monitor sizes, he says that he doesn't get it with just his vga screen, but with just one DVI screen he does. I doubt it is DVI specific, but it could be to do with screen sizes. A DVI-VGA adaptor would settle

@Alberto, it's unclear if this is Unity or the video driver but appears to be -nvidia specific and possibly a regression starting in oneiric. Would you mind raising this with NVIDIA when you get a chance? ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed

[The -nvidia task is sufficient, we don't need this also filed against xorg.] This sounds a lot like a driver bug, but I suppose it's possible Unity could be doing something odd. Has anyone attempted reproducing it under Gnome Shell or straight compiz (no unity)? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)

Could someone on the Compiz or Unity side evaluate this from the standpoint of being a Twinview-specific error? I bet there is some special code in Compiz/Nux/Unity for twinview as opposed to xrandr setups, and wonder if the bug could lay there. -- You received this bug notification because you

Sorry about that :-) But the DVI thing is interesting (although it won't be a monitor problem if both screens die) Do you have one of those DVI to VGA adapters that come with the graphics card, if so can you try with just the VGA monitor, but through that. Also, what about unity 2D, have you
