I guess I should mention that my screen shifts to the left, not to the right. Other people having the same problem with a multiseat setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3618100&postcount=6 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/dual- nvidia-7300-display-shift-left-59743

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 "isolateDevic

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). -- screen shifts right when /dev/console written to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153425 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bu

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. -- s

It might also be relevant how I start the X servers via gdm. gdm.conf is unchanged and gdm.conf-custom is: # GDM Configuration Customization file. # # NOTE: Lines that begin with "#" are considered comments. # # Have fun! [daemon] [security] [xdmcp] [gui] GtkRC= [greeter] GraphicalTheme=happ

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. ** Attachment added: "ScreenShot.JPG" http://laun

I wrote to the console as root echo "some random text">/dev/console eight times and the screen rotated back to normal. This happened just before I took a snapshot of the Xorg log file. The date on this file is 2007-10-19 17:27, whereas I tested at 18:10, so I'm pretty sure the last messages didn'
