I have discovered something. This seems to be directly related to the fact that I have three displays. If I only use two displays in TwinView on the same GPU everything works as expected (videos play only on one monitor, also AWN and Gnome-Panels are centered on the individual monitors).... When add an additional GPU and use a third monitor as a seperate X screen, this is when the problem becomes apparent. Also, this is related to the unusable TTYs. When using three displays, they don't work, when using just the two, they work.
So, for now it's live without the third display, or live with the mildly annoying problems... To further clarify my setup... $ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8500 GT (rev a1) 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1) Two Acer 17" monitors are attached to the 8500 and setup using TwinView Television is attached to the 8400 via s-video, and setup as a seperate X screen. -- nvidia twinview - dialogue centering and fullscreen media players https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300870 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
