You have been subscribed to a public bug: Lucid 10.4 currently ships with the Nvidia 173.14.22 driver. However, while this version of the driver works OK with a single screen, it fails when operating in Dual Screen mode. Installing the more recent 173.14.28 driver fixes the problem.
My configuration is a two card two monitor setup, with an Nvidia 6800 card (PCI-E) and an Nvidia FX5200 (PCI). The system is configured with a single X Server running two screens. This setup works fine with 9.10 and the Nvidia 173 driver. However, on upgrading to 10.4, the X Server always crashes when both screens are enabled. It only works when a single screen is configured. Upgrading the Nvidia driver to 173.14.28 fixes the problem. Clearly this driver needs to be backported to 10.4. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Nvidia 173.14.28 needs to be backported to Lucid 10.4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 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
