Comment 34 for bug 573557

Hi, this bug seems not resolved for me,

One nvidia Geforce 210 (PCIE 03:00.0 ) , two Geforce 6200 ( PCI 04:08.0 & 04:09.0 ) on a Dell E521 ( Amd ) with 4G ram.

I made a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04. Upgraded all using "synacptic".

When booting without using nvidia, no problem, I get only two screens working ( the g210 ones ).

I have nvidia-current|nvidia-current-modaliases|nvidia-current-dev 195.36.15-0ubuntu3 installed.

Activated proprietary drivers using jockey.

First reboot is OK, I get a single screen on my G210.

launch nvidia-settings, activate only 4 screens ( ie 2 screens on the G210, one on each 6200 =.

After reboot there's a black screen that never ends.

Ok let's reboot in recovery mode, comment the two 6200 screens, no more problems.

Interesting parts of logs:
