[Bug 840462] Re: No Dualscreen-Twinview possible after Upgrade to nvidia-current 280.13
Hello out there, some news about this: 1. __Tried nvidia driver from nvidia download:__ Yesterday I gave the subject another try uninstalled all nvidia-current/settings, downloaded the original nvidia 280.13 driver from the nvidia download page, compiled an installed it. The tool creates automatically an nvidia aware xorg.conf. __Result:__ Same problems as described above. 2. __ Installed again 280.13/oneiric and Gnome Shell / Unity 2(!) D: __ It turns out after some hours/days of real work, that using these environments work flawlessly with the driver. Hopefully I don't suffer from a hardware problem. But this point indicates, that this it not the fact. __Conclusion:__ A. Switching back to Unity 3D there is an interesting issue: just in the moment twinview turns out going to work - with the method described in #6 - compiz (unity?!) crashes. You can have a look for the Xorg.0.log.old (with is the crashed unity session) whats going on there. Xorg.0.log represents the gnome shell session. SO FINALLY: 1. This seams not a bug with nvidia 280.13, this is __definitely a bug with Unity 3D AND nvidia driver__ (doesn't matter which version 275/280/285)! 2. The problem is device indepentend. I am working in different environments (office, at home, at school, doing courses with beamer). The problems are the same, no matter what type of second device i am using (vga/dvi, beamer/lcd). On the fly switching is not working, at least extremely buggy. 3. It turns out, working with an xorg file (constructed with nvidia- settings when you where happy to get a running twinview setting) boots flawlessly into a working environment (Untiy 3D), after logout/login/boot 4. Overall performance degraded (compared with natty / 270series of nvidia) - I will keep an eye on this issue an probably will file a bug against Unity 3D / nvidia. ** Attachment added: xorg log under gnome shell https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462/+attachment/2377884/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840462 Title: No Dualscreen-Twinview possible after Upgrade to nvidia-current 280.13 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On my machine tody I installed the latest nvidia-current and -settings version 275 from the ubuntu repositories. I had to build an install them manually via dkms. dkms install -m nvidia-current --all Using minimal xorg.conf: Section Device Identifier Default Device Option NoLogoTrue EndSection Using twinview is still buggy, but works like described with some playing around in nvidia-settings (or apply on and on via disper- indicator for a few times). After the updates of the last 2 days which contained some gnome-ui files it seams to be that the system is a little bit more stable. I also found out, that the static application switcher was applied in ccsm. Deactivated it. But that did not solve the problems with the overall performance and has nothing to do with twinview. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840462 Title: No Dualscreen-Twinview possible after Upgrade to nvidia-current 280.13 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 840462] Re: No Dualscreen-Twinview possible after Upgrade to nvidia-current 280.13
Update: The bug seams to be a problem with Unity 3D. Using Unity 2D or Gnome Shell everything works fine: can use nvidia- settings to change, add, remove monitors on the fly. Also the use of disper is possible. Addendum: If I play arround with nvidia-settings (under Unity 3d) I can get twinview working the following way - moving the screens (see attached screenshot) together - apply settings - move screens side by side - apply - move the smaller screen on top / on bootom - apply Overall performance of 3d with nvidia 280.13 is poor (e.g. lt-Tab switcher). That indeed is an indicator I am writing this under the Gnome-Shell environment, because Unity 3D is not usable for me (crashes, Alt-Tab not working, cannot get minimised windows back, performance really bad, ...). ** Attachment added: Getting twinview working https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462/+attachment/2363177/+files/Bildschirmfoto%20am%2006.09.2011%2C%2022%3A09%3A08.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840462 Title: No Dualscreen-Twinview possible after Upgrade to nvidia-current 280.13 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Forgot to mention: During the installation process, i had been asked which manager to use. I'd chosen lightdm. That left me with an unusable system, because the xserver went into an infinite loop.

I could temporaryly solve the problem. I used nvidia-settings to save the configuration into an xorg.conf and rebooted the system. I get three (!) error reports, that the given configuration could not be applied (indeed, it did!). I tested if, on the fly changing of the configuration is possible (toggle dual screen / single screen): it is not. Doing this applies to the given bug report above.
