Hi :) I guess this is something the developers list should take note off. If somebody from the developers list should reply, please reply to the users list and/or directly to me.

After I set the proprietary ATI driver without success, I tried different xorg.conf settings for the VESA driver I used before and couldn't get back a resolution of 1024x768. It's non-transparent were or in which way the settings needs to be done. I tried different settings for xorg.conf, all settings failed. I've got a backup of my 64 Studio, but don't know which files I need to restore. Just restoring xorg.conf fails. For me this is an attempt to make Linux become as non-transparent as Windows, but Windows has got the advantage to work and not to fail for issues like this, so transparency isn't needed from this point of view. I don't know any other Linux distro that makes easy to do things as complicated as Ubuntu does. Do I need to restore the whole 64 Studio by my backup, just because the proprietary ATI stuff failed? If this would happen for the Debian based 2.1, I only need to restore the xorg.conf and for doing this I even don't need a backup of the xorg.conf. In the internet I couldn't find what are the relevant files for the X settings for Hardy. This is a PITA. If a distro does something extremely unusual to other distros, there should be easy to find howtos about this unusual issues, but there aren't. Can anybody help? It's important to know where this settings are done, to have the same resolution for GDM that's used with GNOME and especially not every WM has applications like GNOME and KDE have got to do graphics settings, especially if somebody is using a WM without an DE. The configuration files not only are needed for people who got trouble because the installation of a proprietary graphics driver failed.
