Hi
I've a problem with my Ubuntu 1404. I installed it some time ago, and used to use default graphic card driver. But it was working teribbly slow, even on desktop, so I decided to risk and install nvidia drivers. It worked :) I mean now it doesn't blink, moving windows don't have "tails".
The only problem that started now, is when I try to maximize a window, it does... to both screens. It is completly unusable, especially as far as both of them have different resolution. I have Dell l502x laptop with nvidia gt540m graphic card. I use built-in monitor+external 24 inch, hdmi connected. Another, related I think, problem is that when I restart, both screens are in the same place, means that the smaller one is a a repeated part of the bigger one and every time I have to change it in Displays.
I tried to set it in compiz, but it doesn't work as I thought if will ( see Attachments).
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout"
Screen 0 "nvidia"
Inactive "intel"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "modesetting"
BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel"
Device "intel"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0"
Option "ConstrainCursor" "off"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "nvidia"
Device "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on"
EndSection
Hope you can help :)
Thanks in advance.
