Hi everyone, not sure where this fits, so i posted this here. If this is the wrong section, please move the thread
So as everyonee might have noticed (as long as you use the proprietary nvidia drivers) some cards where moved from nvidia to nvidia-340xx. This is the case for the nvidia quadro 1000m in my thinkpad w520.
I installed the 340xx drivers yesterday and at first everything seemed to work fine after the switch, cinnamon starts up without problems, both displays (laptop screen and external monitor) are on and seem to work as intended.
The main display is still set to the laptop, but shows on the external monitor, switching this in cinnamon settings does not have any effect whatsoever. Also if i move the mouse over to the laptop display, the display moves in from the side on the external display, not sure how to describe this so just look at the short video i made of this

Why did you switch from nvidia to nvidia-340xx instead of nvidia-390xx? Please post the system's xorg.log and current xorg.conf.
