@adam Sorry mate, been away for the past months (summer vacation here in Aussieland). I did try the old switcheroo with the video cables... no joy. It actually got weirder, so to those who want to try that... dont do it.
I gave up on this issue a while back. Am using 2 copies of "xorg.conf", one for dual monitors and one for single. I overwrite the main file manually everytime I need to, then restart X. Its stupid but it works :D Besides, a friend showed me how to use VLC media player in WinXP to watch all my DVDs and vids. Never looked back :D @PsYcHoK9 Glad it worked out for ya. Had a few questions from the Ubuntu forums and will direct them to your posts. It seems that several people still have this problem, so I dont think the bug is gone. (e.g, karlottofritz) > I can't understand how this bug affect for a long time... without a fix from > the team. It's very BIG bug, and I know this bug from 1-2 year... I think its a difficult bug to squash. Look at the layers of sub-systems involved (e.g., is it X11, or is it the Nvidia drivers, or is it Compiz?). Plus there are so many different monitor configurations and so many purported work-arounds and fixes that claim to work. If I was the bug-squasher, I'd rather poke my eyes out with dirty toothbrushes then fix it. :D Its obviously not a high priority for the team(s) anyways. It should, considering people like to hook up their laptops with secondary monitors, but hey... what can you do aye? *shrugs* -- compiz+nvidia: tearing in xvideo (totem/mplayer/VLC/XINE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
