Hi.
i have a dual-monitor setup running on 8.10 using the open source nv driver.
the screens are configured using xrandr in XSession.d, and the display works ok after logging in.
when i switch to TTY1 (using CTRL + ALT + F1) the terminal is displayed on the main monitor while the secondary shuts down (goes into standby).
the problem is that when i return to X (using CTRL + ALT + F7) the secondary omnitor remains in standby.
i've tried re-configuring it using xranr from a terminal (this time a graphical terminal running on the gnome desktop) but to no avail - i cant make it turn on and display anything.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
