i just installed ubuntu 11.10 with my previous hardware setup: 4 monitors and 2 identical nvidia graphic cards.
draging windows around all 4 monitors works nice, but when i maximize a window it expand always over 2 screens. (2x twinview).
i had an workaround for this in 11.04 but cant remember what it was...
may one of you guys have quad monitors up and running with window maximizing on only one screen
my xorg.conf looks like this:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
