To add to Nathan's previous description regarding auto-reset, it is *sometimes* possible to enable/disable multiple monitors without a reboot, but it requires one to try to perform the change (hitting Apply) twice. Occasionally the composition manager will crash entirely though, removing window decorations and generally leaving the UI unresponsive.
Oddly enough, I *was* able to enable TwinView without the above issues, when using Gnome 3, so the issue must somehow be related to Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876179 Title: Nvidia - dual-screen setup almost impossible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/876179/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
