Public bug reported: I'm using two screens, a 30" and a 24". By default the second screen is disabled, I had to install nvidia-settings to try and fix this, but settings cannot be saved. Here are the current problems with the drivers 1) When enabling Twinview, the screen first gets corrupted then displays correctly 2) When enabling Twinview, the taskbar ends up on the wrong screen 3) Sometimes when clicking on a different sreen that the current one, KDE just hangs 4) When using 3D effects, the desktop can freeze for several seconds 5) When using 3D effects, the desktop can stop working all together (freeze in the middle of an operation) and a restart will be required
I've looked in dmesg and I saw this: NVRM: Xid (0000:04:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 00000860 00000000 00000100 NVRM: Xid (0000:04:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 00000860 00000000 00000100 NVRM: Xid (0000:04:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 00000860 00000000 00000100 NVRM: Xid (0000:04:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 00000860 004d78c1 00000100 NVRM: Xid (0000:04:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 00000860 00595959 00000100 NVRM: Xid (0000:04:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 00000860 00595959 00000100 I also saw this in Xorg.log [ 88.500] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode [ 88.500] (II) NVIDIA(0): "DFP-0:nvidia-auto-select@1920x1200+2560+0,DFP-1:nvidia-auto-select@2560x1600+0+0" [ 94.915] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select" [ 97.948] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode [ 97.948] (II) NVIDIA(0): "DFP-0:nvidia-auto-select@1920x1200+2560+0,DFP-1:nvidia-auto-select@2560x1600+0+0" [ 101.313] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select" [ 103.981] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode [ 103.981] (II) NVIDIA(0): "DFP-0:nvidia-auto-select@1920x1200+2560+0,DFP-1:nvidia-auto-select@2560x1600+0+0" [ 120.556] (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) [ 120.597] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode [ 120.597] (II) NVIDIA(0): "DFP-0:nvidia-auto-select@1920x1200+2560+0,DFP-1:nvidia-auto-select@2560x1600+0+0" [ 19413.405] [mi] EQ overflowing.
