nvidia gt 545 and nouveau

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1076 bytes --]

I have 2 monitors plugged into the same nvidia card
(running nouveau) one can be either DVI-I or VGA(vga right now) and the
other is hdmi, right now, I am just trying to get the monitors to not
be clones of each other and to be side by side. When i do xrandr
--output HDMI-1 --pos 0x0 --output VGA-1 --auto --right-of HDMI-1, the
whole screen freezes with the mouse in between the 2 monitors and I
can't do anything except kill the power and reboot, Anyone have any
ideas where to start, because I have looked for several hours now and I 
can't find anything that would be causing this issue.

What happens when It freezes is the mouse literally gets stuck in 
between the two screens (half on either screen) and since I am unable
to do any commands with the keyboard I can't take a screen shot.  I
would really like to be able to use nouveau and xrandr, because I don't
really want to use Xinerama with the proprietary drivers because then I
am unable to use compositing.

Any thoughts and questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel Wallace

What happens if you want to set the framebuffer size to the size of
your two monitors combined?

1280x1024+1280x1024 would be:
xrandr --fb 2560x1024

Afterwards xrandr should say "current 2560x1024" somewhere at the
beginning of it's output.

I assume your two monitors work in clone, so i i'm wondering if it's
the framebuffer allocation that causes the problem.

with xrandr --fb 3840x1080 then 
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --pos 0x0 --output VGA-1 --right-of HDMI-1

it now shows both screens, and everything looks fine, except for the
fact that the mouse is on the border of both screens, half on both and
I can't move it or have any keyboard actions, just have to reboot the
computer

Based on the xorg log this looks like some kind cursor/mouse/input
related bug. Its probably a good idea to try either the xorg
mailinglist or simply file a bug. You should do something like:

If you ask on the mailinglist i would put this ("BUG: triggered 'if
(!dev->valuator || dev->valuator->numAxes < 2)' BUG: getevents.c:845
in scale_to_desktop()") in the title, this hopefully triggers whoevers
knows what the problem could be to look at it.
