There was a pretty annoying regression in nvidia support under Kubuntu (and probably regular ole’ Ubuntu) 11.10 – dual monitor support is busted. Ouch.
Confusion abounds on how to fix this, but it seems all you need to do is:
- uninstall nvidia-173
- install nvidia-current
- remove /etc/x11/xorg.conf to cause another one to be regenerated, and then
- Reboot. You’ll be using a newer driver and be able to configure twinview via nvidia-settings per the usual.
You’re just updating the nvidia driver, that’s all. This just happens to be the easiest way.
I’ll try this out now. This better not fuck my shit up. Took long enough to get Kubuntu to work.
Oh God, it worked. Thank you so much.
glad to be of service, merry!
