I have upgraded to sid and I have the nvidia modules installed now by "m-a auto-install nvidia" and they work as expected but because I have manually edited xorg.conf "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" won't save the files anymore because they have been modified. Is there some way I can get back into a state where I can run that command and save those files? I want to run that to get the question about best resolution etc. Now that I have the nvidia.ko working the look of the desktop needs some adjusting. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
