Pablo Piaggio, thank you for testing Trusty. Could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker?
As well, was there a release newer than 10.04, but older than 12.04 that did not demonstrate this problem? ** Tags added: trusty ** Description changed: Unable to set up 2 separate X screens on 12.04 (this works on 10.04). - What I did: fresh install of Ubuntu 64bits. Then upgraded. Then try to - set up 2 separate X screens (2 monitors). - - It didn't work on nouveau, nvidia-current, nvidia (post release - updates), and nvidia-experimental-310. - - The behaviour is the same regardless of the driver used: + set up 2 separate X screens (2 monitors). It didn't work on nouveau, + nvidia-current, nvidia (post release updates), and nvidia- + experimental-310. First the 2nd monitor is complete blank, with an X as a mouse cursor (X - Windows default?) . This follow the same description follow in this bug: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/885989 - - 'killall nautilus' shows the default background, but no top panel, no - launcher, and same mouse cursor. Launching any instance of nautilus - blanks the screen again. - - I dug a little further and I found this bug: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/661450 - - running 'DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --replace' offers a little improvement: top - panel appears, as the unity launcher. However, no windows decorations - and all windows open stick to the upper left corner. They can't be - moved. - - After restarting the machine all back to zero. - - I went to #ubuntu, but there's no other advice besides install ppas like - swat and edgers. - - I'm willing to provide any other information and make any tests you - request. - - Kind Regards. + Windows default?).
