(Get the code!)
Bryce, what do you mean by "functional workaround"? I though nouveau driver didnt support multiple cards or am I missing something?
"The issue does not occur for default configurations"... True but with default configuration Gnome uses only one display and with settings (using the gnome tool) I managed it to use only two out of four displays.
For some reason X crashed and failed to restart so I switched to NVidia drivers. Too bad there is issue with the Xinerama.
In case someone finds a way to use four displays (two cards) in Ubuntu 10.04 properly I'd really like to hear about that. I haven't found a solution so far. I even tried to get libxinerama from Debian Testing (v1.1-3) with no luck - mouse keeps jumping. libxrandr2 seems to be in same version so no luck with that neither.
Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 release notes says "Because of the new alternatives system used for nvidia driver packages, the nvidia installer from NVIDIA's website currently doesn't work" so I havent tried NVidia drivers from NVidia's website.
