Hi,

(we are now in a loop ;-P) Editing xorg.conf requires an X-server restart after each setup change, which is ridiculous. In the end, I do not care which means a tool uses to set up the screens, whether it's xrandr or that nvidia-specific way. I just want it to work, without the need to restart anything. And for everything except for NVidia cards, xrandr is the way to go ;-) > Uh? That's strange.

Neverball is now working fine, however from the three Windows games I tried, only one started, the others showed no useful content on screen. So, I have to stick with the closed-source driver for now :( The driver is not the issue though, xrandr works the way it is supposed to, as far as I can tell. I just want to take some action when a monitor is connected, which xrandr does detect, it just does not tell me. That's all :D Kind regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
