Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Ubuntu Feisty, Nvidia driver version 1.0-9755, laptop.

When I use nvidia-settings to set my external monitor to mirror (clone) my labptop monitor, it will lock up. The only fix is to switch to terminal and kill the process. IF the monitors are set to be above or below, it does not freeze/crash/lockup. You can preview any plugin and it will not crash - preview works fine. It is only when the screensaver activates when you are cloning screens - the screen goes black and freezes.

I have this problem on an Nvidia GeForce 7600GT, it seems to always login if changing from "Matrix" and "GLMatrix" screensaver leaving me at a Gnome (Blue) login screen. However, I haven't yet tracked what is causing this. Though I've heard that re-installing the Nvidia-GLX (?restricted mode?) drivers fixes thigns as they should be.

Cheers

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the development version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?

Thanks in advance.
