I did use Live Ubuntu booted from a USB Drive. I have configured BIOS in my computer to report Optimus and to use Nvidia Optimus technology.
I was able to boot into the system. I have installed recommended Nvidia Drivers, and restarted the computer. The issue more or less exists, however now it manifests itself in a different way. The image is stretched and mouse "misses" the point where I want to click, yielding the system unusable. Please see attachment. In the example I was trying to click on the window "Does the display look okay?" to drag it, however instead, on a second monitor, selection started to appear (see right side of the screenshot). This behaviour makes it impossible to click on anything (ignoring the fact, that the look of UI prevents you from using the system anyway), the only way to operate the system is to use keyboard (the system responds to tab and enter in a proper way). Additionally now this happens even, if the external monitor is virtually placed on the right side of a primary display. When the external display is not in use, the system behaves more or less okay. ** Attachment added: "stretched.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1305264/+attachment/4325028/+files/stretched.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305264 Title: Incorrect display when using monitor on the left on NVIDIA Optimus Card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1305264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
