** Description changed:

  When choosing the "Separate X Screen" option to use my projector in
  Jaunty, the second X screen seems to exist, but the display is totally
  black.
  
  Also the mouse pointer when moving from screen 0 to 1 freezes at the
  edge of screen 0 and then a second one appears on screen 1 (the pointer
  is the only thing visible on screen 1) This transition was seamless in
  Intrepid.
  
  When I click Restart from the FUSA, the second X screen is briefly
  visible in all it's glory before the computer shuts down. So it is
  there! It's just hiding from me :-(
  
  The GDM only displays on screen 0 as well.
  
  I've experimented with TwinView and XCinerama and they still work fine.
  
  Confirmed this in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Jaunty.
  Confirmed in 64-bit using version 180 and 173 of nvidia driver.
  
  I think I was using 173 in Intrepid (which makes me think it's not the
  nvidia driver at fault) but I haven't re-booted my Intrepid drive to
  confirm that yet.
  
  I spotted this thread on the ubuntu forums, where a few others appear to have 
the same issue:

  I'm up for some experimenting if anyone has any suggestions...
