Bug Description
I run Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell desktop with a dual use video card that goes into two monitors. They normally work great and I have no complaints. When I first upgraded to 11.10, I would occasionally have both monitors randomly black out, and I'd have to restart the computer to get them back. Though that problem seemed to go away, and I wrote it off to package upgrades that fixed a bug.
Then, after upgraded unity and a bunch of other packages today it started it again. Three times I've had it black out this morning. I don't know why. Though I often use hotkeys to slide between workspaces, and one of the blackouts happened during a slide.
[Next Actions]
* [tseliot] Raise issue with NVIDIA
* [Unity Engineering] Evaluate if twinview could be triggering a bug in unity?
* Attempt to reproduce the bug outside Unity to see if it can be proved to not be Unity-specific
* Identify if there's a way to reproduce the bug deliberately

Here's what I see in my kernal log around the time of crash. Seems very similar to what's reported in this thread: http:// forums. nvidia. com/index. php?showtopic= 209151
