Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Running dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg on a computers with two
monitors attached to one Nvidia (7900GS) graphic card results in a
configuration with no X output and some garbled consoles (console n°1
works though, but goes over the bottom of the screen, and the cursor
stays on the top left corner).

This is the same kind of configuration that results in Bug #277724
However, this problem is more serious because it hoses a working system, and 
normal users wouldn't be able to solve the problem (whereas they're the kind of 
users one would advise to run dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg if they had 
trouble with their configuration).

** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
