Bug#496169: Similar problem with nvidia Drivers? / partly solution

[Jan Filter <Jan.Filter@web.de>]

Hi!

After a lot of googling  I found some hints for Ubuntu regarding the
secondary displays. It seems newer Versions of xorg need two displays
when using virtual resolutions bigger than physical resolution.

Any attempts configuring this manually failed, but displayconfig can fix
this. (Better do a backup of the xorg.conf before, it gets rather ugly
and has to be tidied up again)

It's no real solution but a work-around. For example, something is still
wrong with resolution and huge cursors are chosen automatically. This
can be fixed with:

update-alternatives --config  x-cursor-theme
