This was a little tricky. I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS; 1 x Samsung SM226BW (left 1680x 1050); 1 x SMB2430H (right 1920x 1080.). I was using TwinView via NVIDIA Settings in Natty 11.04 OK prior to the upgrade. ________________________________________ Update : 02.09.2011 I find that to have TwinView work correctly across both screens I need to do this: The NVIDIA Settings Screen Dance Enable TwinView, apply and click OK on the invisible dialogue box. Set Clone and Apply then Cancel. Note: Both screens now are enabled (but both showing the same view). Move the right screen to the left or vice versa and apply. Note: Both screen now allow windows to be moved from one to another. Move the right screen back to the left and apply. All working correctly now :-) Oh and you may want to have a look at this. ________________________________________ Update : 08.09.2011 The latest update has fixed this issue, NVIDIA Settings with TwinView now works fine. :-) Linux 3.0.0-10-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 2 18:32:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux NVIDIA Driver Version:280.13 (nvidia-current) Server Vendor Version:1.10.2.902 (11002902) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
