Alaza LQ Newbie Registered: Jul 2011 Posts: 1 Rep:	Weird inactive screen in dual screen setup? Hi there, I just installed a clean Ubuntu 11.04 and the nVidia 270 driver for my 8800GTX. I have set it up in the nVidia X Server Settings for dual screen, but I'm experiencing a quite weird error. The main monitor is all fine, and the second seems fine at first glance. But when you move the cursor it changes from the standard white arrow to a black X, and it is not possible to either drag an application to it, nor start a terminal etc. What can I do to fix it? Thank you
