Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Ubuntu Feisty, Nvidia driver version 1.0-9755, laptop.
When I use nvidia-settings to set my external monitor to mirror (clone) my labptop monitor, it will lock up. The only fix is to switch to terminal and kill the process. IF the monitors are set to be above or below, it does not freeze/

I have this problem on an Nvidia GeForce 7600GT, it seems to always login if changing from "Matrix" and "GLMatrix" screensaver leaving me at a Gnome (Blue) login screen. However, I haven't yet tracked what is causing this. Though I've heard that re-installing the Nvidia-GLX (?restricted mode?) drivers fixes thigns as they should be.
Cheers
