Public bug reported: I have a two-monitor setup in Hardy Kubuntu (KDE 3 version). First monitor has a resolution of 1280x1024. Second monitor has a resolution of 1680x1050. Everything used to work great. After downloaded some recent Hardy updates (I think kernel update and KDE updates were included) I started having an issue where windows on the second larger monitor would not fill the screen when maximized. They seem to stop at the resolution of the first monitor.
I tried installing official nvidia drivers, which did nothing to fix the problem. Hardware config and xdpyinfo output are attached. All compiz "Desktop effects" are disabled. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 sudo lspci -nnvv 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] [10de:0391] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: eVga.com.
