My setup consists of two Nvidia cards using the proprietary driver. One of the cards is connected to two monitors, the second is connected to a television. The two monitors are configured to use twinview, the television is configured as separate X screen.
When using Unity and GNOME, the two monitors work fine, while the television is WHITE. I noticed this problem more than a year ago with 12.04. I then switched to fluxbox, and since it was working flawlessly in fluxbox, I have continued using it since then. Now as I upgraded to 13.04, I decided to try Unity and GNOME again hoping that it had been fixed. But it has not. I have also tried installing the latest gnome- packages via the PPA: /gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu, but still no luck. It would be nice if someone could suggest what I can do to debug the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885989 Title: white screen on second monitor when using two xsessions Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: If enable dual head mode (two X screens), the second monitor went white after login with unity or unity-2d.
