With the Sansui monitor, I was able to install the nvidia-current package and get a stable display. nvidia-current had not helped with the Etronix 1701B monitor on which the edid was not read correctly. I am typing this on a Unity desktop on 14.04, so my problems seem to have been solved. I also tried on GNOME desktop with similar results.
My problem seems to have been a combination of hardware (edid not reading properly) and driver (nouveau) not working together, and I will so report publicly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756818 Title: Unity Live session nvidia display unuseable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/756818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
