I guess I should mention that my screen shifts to the left, not to the
right.

I am also having the same problem on Gutsy, and I too have a multiseat
setup (two nVidia cards using the nvidia 169.09 driver). The shift only
seems to happen on the first seat, although my second seat is rarely
used. The shift doesn't happen very often, especially since I added the

It does seem to help, but then I have to explicitly disable AIGLX in xorg.conf.
It seems that it is trying to do some vt operations and then my primary screen
locks up. But at least I tried writing:
echo "Some random text" >/dev/console
and the secondary monitor didn't wrap, so I'm keeping my fi
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately it seems that the patch doesn't
really fix this issue. I'm running 2.6.22-14, and the patch is already
there (according to LXR it was put there in the first 2.6.22 kernel),
but the problem persist. I'm about to reboot to try your suggestion
about -sharevts, so
As a workaround omitting -sharevts in the command line that starts the X
server on the primary graphics card works for me (with gdm).

I updated to Gutsy, and that problem went away. I believe the fix was
actually in the kernel as I noticed that the fix in the vgacon.c shows
up in the default Gutsy kernel. And it does make sense that it's the
kernel that is allowing a leak from the console into the hardware
controlled by X.

It might also be relevant how I start the X servers via gdm. gdm.conf is
unchanged and gdm.conf-custom is:

I took this screen shot of the screen shot! The (Gnome) screen shot
shows how the screen is supposed to look. When I connecte and
unconnected the camera I used for this screen shot, the screen dutifully
shifted right. It seems very reproducible.
