Lubuntu 10.4, fresh install. Graphics Processor: GeForce 6200.
(everything was working on ubuntu and xubuntu 9.10)

I have 2 monitors - Acer 1920x1080 (DVI) and Dell 1024x768 (VGA).
I try to set 'separate x screen' on nvidia-settings, but the Acer is black and the only desktop shown is on the Dell (it working on xinerama but terrible and unusable).


side note:
after installing lubuntu no driver was showing on jockey-gtk (might be a bug in jockey, not sure) so I installed nvidia-glx-185. is it the right one? according to this page it support my card - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/nvidia-glx-185/185.18.36-0ubuntu9

after installing it and rebooting, jockey-gtk shows me nvidia-current but tells me it's not being used (might be a bug with jockey).


thanks!
