Public bug reported: After nvidia installation I got 6 screens on one display, I tried to install newest driver from nvidia.com but same thing. Looking on ubuntu forum I found this solution:
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf Look for Section ¨Device¨ Add this line: Option "ModeValidation" "NoTotalSizeCheck" Restart X It´s solved at this way, but I think we should have this note on release notes for Jaunty at least, also if it´s possible the program nvidia- xconfig should detect the video card and add this line itself.
