To have twinview in my session :
- i simply run "nvidia-setting"
- configure twinview
- and on the button "apply" which "reload" X with my 2 monitor (primary: 1280*800, secondary: 1440*900).

With the new version of nvidia, when i click on "apply", i've the error above. I am not the only one with this error (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690580 ...) but no workaround for me.

Re: twinview error with nvidia 256.44-2

what does Xorg.0.log look like after you try to set the metamode?
