When my screens shut off after the configured amount of time, they don't turn back on again. I have to restart my computer because wiggling my mouse, etc doesn't turn the monitor signals back on. Under what package should I file this bug? I have a dual monitor setup with Nvidia twinview.

It would be helpful to know what model of Nvivia you have as some of the solutions are different.
The most common solution is to edit the xorg.conf file. (note: Your xorg.conf is not created by default in 11.10. It can be manually created in /etc/X11/)
you can add the line:
Option "NvAGP" "1"
I also had to modify grub by uncommenting the line GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and changing it to:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
You would use your screens resolution.

I hope these help you.

I have a similar problem to the one described above, however, I cannot find xorg.conf on my system. At least where it is supposed to be. I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. Also, where is the
grub
file located?– BillOct 28, 2011 at 1:52 -

Thanks for that. Is there a template that you can recommend? Note that I posted a similar question to the group a couple of days ago. Nobody has replied as yet.– BillOct 29, 2011 at 23:03
