Either one monitor is left asleep or the monitors mirror each other instead of a spanned desktop. I have to run the nvidia-settings utility, reset the configuration and then all is well until the next time the screen goes into it's blank/sleep mode.

For me at least getting the drivers from nvidia and running their installer has always seemed to be more stable even with this annoying behavior. > > Anyone know of what I might do to get rid of this annoyance?
