What do you mean by rebooted with xorg.conf disabled? Just
rename/remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

 Neat!  autoconfiguration really works!  That's as opposed to it being 
 intended to work.

Autoconfiguration on my system does not work (v7.3-7), at the first
sight being related to the kernel framebuffer. On all systems this
option is disabled but the XORG auto detection tries to activate it and
because of this it fails.

I renamed xorg.conf to xorg.conf.donotuse, and rebooted. 
When the machine came back up, a splash labeled 
autoconfiguration displayed across the monitor, while 
the screen resolution changed around rapidly.  When I 
logged in, my desktop was at a higher resolution than I 
had seen previously, with the windows I had left open at 
logout shrunk to about 2/3 of their former physical screen 
coverage.  Regardless of whether it fixes the problem of 
the freezing system, the higher resolution is a real 
improvement.


However, I woke up this morning, and the screen came to 
life, just like before I dist-upgraded to lenny, so things 
look promising on that front, too.

I thought the new xorg didn't need an xorg.conf file, though it uses it
if you have one.  Maybe renaming it temprarily to xorg.conf.donotuse
and rebooting would enable xorg to autoconfigure and maybe work
differently?

It's very workable. 

I was able to Get Lenny working great with minimal headache. I'm even using
ATI drivers and xinerama for dual monitors, and it doesn't give me much
problem. The only problem I see is X sometime crashes when I exit my
session, but I haven't checked to see yet if that's a bug or a problem with
the binary ATI driver. 

I also had to do a little foot work to get the wireless card working
flawlessly in my laptop, but alas, we can blame proprietary windows drivers
for that. =)

Other than that Lenny Works great in my opinion. Great Distro!!

Is it workable?

I'm currently running etch as a desk top - how well is lenny doing?

Is there any estimate when it will be released? Guestimates?

Any reasons not to upgrade?

RE: lenny amd64 for Desktop

2007-12-07 Thread Don Montgomery


I have been running lenny as a desktop OS for about a 
month.  I had an effortless upgrade from etch.  I like it 
very well, with the following exceptions.


When I leave the machine overnight, it usually loses touch 
with the monitor.  This occurs without regard to whether I 
lock the screen or not, or whether I leave the monitor 
turned on or off.  No keypress, hotkey combo, or mouse 
wiggle has any apparent effect, and I have to hard reboot. 
I do not know what is causing it.


Open office has crashed X several times when editing MS 
Powerpoint files.  No other application seems to be a 
problem.


In all these cases, ctl-alt-f{1,2,...} gets no response, 
and ctl-alt-bkspc and ctl-alt-del are ignored.

I have just upgraded from a (short-lived) etch installation to lenny.

Definetly!

 I'm currently running etch as a desk top - how well is lenny doing?

I upgraded to lenny in order to get the nv driver that would recognize my
nvidia 8600 card - I simply could not get it to play with etch. Haven't got
around to plugging it in after the upgrade, so I can't say if it works. Maybe
this weekend...

 Any reasons not to upgrade?

I had problems with KDE's fish protocol (file browsing etc over ssh). Solved
them by staying at an older kernel. Expect those to be ironed out soon.

That was all. I had recently installed etch, coming from 32-bit mode. The
upgrade was as painless as you could hope. Change your sources, apt-get
update, apt-get dist-upgrade. No fuzz. Been happy with it the past few days.
Still need to sort out some things that need to be run 32-bit (flash, java?,
video codecs for xine, ...), but those problems were the same on etch.
(anyone have a good howto that is up to date with lenny? Most I find on the
net are somewhat older)

Regards

   Heikki

Which graphics card do you have? And which driver? The symptoms sound

much

like what I had with Etch, Nvidia 8600, Nvidia's closed driver - except

that

it happened immediately upon start of X. Often (but not always)

accompanied

with a kernel panic in the nvidia module.

I will try with my card on lenny, as soon as I get the time.

When I leave the machine overnight, it usually loses touch

lock the screen or not, or whether I leave the monitor

I do not know what is causing it.


Which graphics card do you have? And which driver? The symptoms sound much
like what I had with Etch, Nvidia 8600, Nvidia's closed driver - except that
it happened immediately upon start of X. Often (but not always) accompanied
with a kernel panic in the nvidia module.

I will try with my card on lenny, as soon as I get the time.
