Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nvidia-settings
SUMMARY: Would like to have fullscreen / maximize work across both screens in my TwinView two-monitor configuration. I am very pleased with the new nvidia-settings and nvidia 177 driver because they now include 1024x768 as a default for an external monitor that does not send an EDID. (This happens because I connect to a beamer / projector through a black box in an AV cabinet, not directly, so no EDID.) BUT under TwinView with two monitors (laptop plus external projector) in the new version, the two screens maximize / fullscreen separately. I would like to be able to maximize / fullscreen across the two screens. (I understand that some people want separate fullscreen / maximize, but it should be possible to choose between the two. (This is a new behavior; under the previous version, fullscreen went across the two screens.) Could this involve a Xinerama option with TwinView? See "(4) TFT and CRT using nvidia'a twinview with xinerama" (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174) I tried tweaking xorg.conf but fouled things up and had to revert to the nvidia-xconfig copy.
