Yes, lots of us *try* to use xinerama despite Ubuntu 10.04 and now 10.10s efforts to stop us. For more than 2 monitors it is the only way to take full advantage of them (drag and drop between monitors and not one huge desktop that screws up maximising windows).
I have downgraded my X packages on my work machine by following kion's instructions (thanks Kion) and no longer have the problem so surely this is a Xorg problem which is particularly bad on QT apps with the nvidia driver? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/650539/comments/42 No doubt now I downgraded I will get the 10.04 problem (x crashing with mouse between 2 screens). I would rather Ubuntu launched later in the month and was tested properly than get the stupid 10/10/10 publicity. Sorry to rant so much but I am really getting fed up of these buggy releases. The last good release was 9.10- I wish I had stuck with it. -- Launching QT apps under Xinerama crashes Xorg : affects SpeedCrunch, KeePassX, Lucky Backup, Pencil, Stellarium, Skype, Google Earth, VLC, Konqueror, VirtualBox, Opera ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
