*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 3731 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3731 New xorg.conf has HorizSync and VertRefresh entries. Hopefully this should solve the low resolution problem.

Ok, I understand. Well, I tried it now, and it seems fine, not sure what did the trick though. So I guess this bug can be closed. I attach my current, final, xorg.conf, perhaps someone will want to compare it to my old nonworking versions if they find they have a similar problem or something like that.

Sorry for not replying earlier. Basically my 'solution' to my problems is never rebooting the computer, in fact, I don't think I rebooted since last I posted here - perhaps once). So I am not sure if things are not working or not, after trying your suggestions. Last reboot they worked, but that is all I know, things were flaky before (work once, fail another). -- [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 107947] Re: [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage
Here it is after sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Interestingly, it worked this time at 1024x768! The only quirk was that it says in the preferences that the refresh rate was 50; yet the monitor itself, and the nvidia-settings, said that it was 75. I used nvidia-settings to fix the refresh rate at 60, and the monitor reports that too, so that seems ok for now. The preferences is still wrong though, now it says 76. So, this is very strange, things seem to work. I suspect that next reboot they may stop, though... ** Attachment added: xorg.conf http://librarian.launchpad.net/7396851/xorg.conf -- [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, that fixed the X module/kernel module mismatch problem (indeed, it was exactly the same as the bug you quoted). Now the NVidia binary can start, but only at 640x480, as before. Manually editing and adding resolutions to xorg.conf doesn't work.

kripkenstein: OK let's see if we can take a hybrid approach this problem.

[Bug 107947] Re: [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage
The problem with typing in a terminal was only with terminals during X. So perhaps this was indeed a bad xorg.conf setting. Or perhaps related to the Metacity issue. I tried the nvidia-glx-new. It couldn't even start X. So I am back to nv. I will see if the Metacity issue repeats itself in nv. If so then I will indeed file a bug. The last 2 times with nv Metacity loaded fine. No, I didn't try to turn on desktop effects - I was afraid of breakage ;) . This is a fresh install of Feisty, nothing fancy. Actually I am quite surprised, after almost no problems with Dapper and Edgy, Feisty is proving to be quite tricky on this computer... Any other ideas for me?

[Bug 107947] Re: [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage
Yes, I rebooted before trying the new one. Didn't help. Now I tried to use the old one with the EDID fix, but I can't get it to load either. It crashes X with the kernel module has version 9755 while this X module has version 9631... I thought this might be because of the -new package that I tried, so I tried to reinstall all NVidia modules as well as restricted-drivers in Synaptic, but again, the same error after a reboot... very sad... -- [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

kripkenstein: remove the nvdia-glx-new package. Check that ls -al /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.17-11-generic/ doesn't show a left over .nvidia_new_installed file.
