Bug Description
Some time in the last few days of updates, my TwinView based nvidia setup (chip == NV96) has stopped working properly. The second monitor is completely covered by a black, blank screen. The mouse is visiable there, but clicks do not register.

Thanks for your report.
Do you see the unity launcher and/or top panel over the black area on the second screen ?
Could you attach a screenshot/picture ?
Thanks in advance.
