Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I have 2 monitors.

During installation of Kubuntu 10.04 both monitors showed the same display.

After installation, one monitor is blank, the other works.

I want to have a double-width workspace between the two monitors, not a cloned display.

I'll attach dmesg output from both the liveCD session and after installation. I don't know what else is useful.

What I have tried so far is to open kubuntu systemsettings and click on the display kcm. The multiple monitors screen there contains only a label saying "This module is only for configuring systems with a single desktop spread across multiple monitors. You do not appear to have this configuration."

At the risk of being a me-tooer, I am experiencing this with the following card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [Quadro FX 380] (rev1)
01:00.0 0300: 10de:0658 (rev a1)

In my case, this is happening on meerkat. I don't know if the 10.10 instalation was working correctly as I used the alternative installation.

Steveire, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
