Public bug reported:
nvidia-current is unable to use two monitors in full resolution (wuxga +
full hd), one will always stay blank. looking into xorg.log, i can see
something like:
[ 89444.991] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Due to hardware capability constraints,
disabling display
[ 89444.991] (WW) NVIDIA(0): device Seiko/Epson (DFP-0) in MetaMode
[ 89444.991] (WW) NVIDIA(0):
"CRT-0:nvidia-auto-select@1920x1080+1920+0,DFP-0:1920x1200@1920x1200+0+0".
the same configuration works with nvidia-173, so nvidia-current might
not be detecting hardware capabalities correctly. nvidia-173 feels a bit
slower than nvidia-current, so i'd like to use nvidia-current. my
graphics card is `01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation
G86M [Quadro FX 360M] (rev a1)`
i'll be glad to give further information, this has bugged me for quite a
while. i'm currently running natty, but i've seen this bug since nvidia-
current was introduced
