Bug description:
SRU TEST CASE:
1. start nvidia-settings
2. turn on secondary monitor with twin view
3. the screen comes up scrambled or unity crashes
4. now install Unity from oneiric-proposed
5. see there are not artifacts on the screen.
=====Original Report=====
I upgraded to 11.10 and am no longer able to use my external monitor
with my laptop while using Unity. It was fine with 11.04.
I have the latest NVIDIA driver installed via jockey.
I tried both drivers listed, both act the same.
Repo:
I use the Nvidia-Settings manager tool to turn on my secondary monitor with
twinview. (As usual)
The screens come up but the graphics are scrambled up. If i'm lucky Unity
will crash and I'll be left with a blank screen with just my wallpaper left.
Unity 2d works as expected.
