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?

** 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.
