Comment 30 for bug 1553503

Ah, sorry if that's dragged the bug off topic.

Although, while we're talking about it, I had a dual screen not working issue with an Nvidia card (with Nouveau or Nvidia drivers). When i connected i experienced a near identical stack trace to the one in this ticket.

Installing 4.8-rc1 this morning has given me dual screen! It's a happy day indeed. I can't use the Nvidia drivers because i don't think there's any extras packages (not entirely sure how that works) but luckily Nouveau now does the job.

I've got some pointer ghosting and replicating-type problems but those are very much live-with-able

I've been chasing this bug for months, and been thinking it was an Nvidia driver problem, so i was really happy to come across some of the info in this ticket, thanks also for your tips around installing 4.8-rc1 as well @Joseph Salisbury
