Public bug reported: As the summary says. This is 100% repeatable and there's been a fair amount of traffic about it on various lists.
The current concensus is that the root cause is down to to powersave mode tweaks in all GPU modules To repeat: install multiple nvidia GPUs in a desktop system (or a multi-gpu card such as nvidia Quadro CVS440) Boot up Trusty beta versions (or 2.13 kernel). try configuring displays using standard tools based on xrandr This worked fine in Saucy (crosscheck: boot off 13.10 64bit DVD) Apparently this is fixed in the 2.14 kernels. It can be worked around by manually configuring the devices in xorg.conf and enabling Xinerama, BUT - this results in massive slowdown and as this disables xrandr a number of important apps (such as vlc) will refuse to run. This is a major regression and needs to be treated as such. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gpu ** Description changed: As the summary says.
