Dual Monitor in Ubuntu 11.10 is resetting the theme
- by Mengu
i'm experiencing a strange problem with dual monitors. when i set the dual monitor via "nvidia settings" and save the setting to xorg.conf, the default unity theme and icons are turning back to gtk default. i also get an error telling me "could not apply the stored configuration for monitors"
here is my xorg.conf:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
