Twin View and different size screens error

[Scorpile]

Hi, i have a OpenSuse11.4 laptop with resolution of 1366x768.

Recently i connected a 1280x1024 monitor as secundary to gain workspace.

I configured twin view and now i have both laptop LCD and monitor screens working.

Here is the "Before of the problem" picture:



The problem is when i move my mouse down of the taskbar to the empty area like in this picture and do a simple click:



The result is the following:



As you can see, both, the laptop LCD, and the monitor desktop area get lost.

Any help is really appreciated!

Hello Scorpile,
We are unable to see problem describing pictures. Can you do attachment of screenshots ? Also provide nvidia bug report by running nvidia-bug-report.sh as root.

Thanks for your response...

Im currently downloading the April 20 Linux new version... meanwhile, i uploaded the screenshoots of the problem.

Best regards!

**Edit: Still the same behaviour with new driver...

[Scorpile]

Here is it! Using KDE!

I tried with Quadro FX 880M (GT216) notebook but issue is not reproduced. I think some desktop layout has been changed. Can you try changing resolution of displays and if possible with Fresh OS ?
