nvidia-settings is crashing while setting up "Clones"

[Artur Rona]

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

I have connected both LCD on D-Sub (native 1440x900) and TV (native 1280x768). I want to get different resolutions on displays in this form:
- one common desktop
- separate resolution for LCD 1440x900
- separate resolution for TV 1280x768
When I get Clones for TV, nvidia-settings is going down. There's a gdb:
$ gdb nvidia-settings

Hi ari-tczew,

Thanks for including an image to demonstrate the issue. Could you also please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14 here:

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
