flowingfire: Hmm I suspect this problem is occurring due to presence of the virtual keyword in your configuration file - I believe this indicates to X that you want a desktop bigger than the screen. I would back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then remove the Virtual 1920 1440 line you have, restart X and see if there is any difference. By the way, the recommended way of enabling the binary drivers in Feisty is via the use of restricted-manager but I would not worry about that now. Bug reports with more than one bug in them are generally closed for lacking purpose (because the issues need not be related) so I suggest changing this bug to the issue that is of greatest importance and filing new reports for other problems. -- [nvidia-glx-new] Kubuntu Login Slides Around the Screen at 1280x1024 + 3 other errors with NVIDIA GeForce 6150 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109199 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 109199] Re: [nvidia-glx-new] Kubuntu Login Slides Around the Screen at 1280x1024 + 3 other errors with NVIDIA GeForce 6150
I deleted the Virtual 1920 1440 line from xorg.conf. Unfortunately, the login screen -still- slides around. It just doesn't slide quite as much anymore-- it stops at a closer edge. Also, notably, the disappearing mouse problem stopped happening. Related? Who knows. But I think since all these errors happened together, I want to put them here. And since one of your solutions fixed one of the seemingly unrelated problems... well, you catch the drift... It seems like deleting that line half fixed the problem, as sliding is still an issue. Of course, I understand that it's necessary to make sure one problem is addressed at a time. Honestly, I'm totally new to this Linux thing, and am hoping to replace my Windows desktop. I don't even know what a restricted-manager is! I just went into Adept Manager, because it seemed like the right thing to do and selected the new Nvidia driver package, then installed it. Then my screen actually lined up correctly at the right resolution. Yay. I've learned the basics of the terminal quickly, but I also have busted 2 prior installations of Kubuntu. One time, I tried to install Java and it broke all sorts of things rendering the operating system unusable. Another time, I screwed up xorg.conf. Now, in my third installation, I seem to have Beryl-Emerald, Kubuntu, and my Nvidia card talking to each- other nicely... But my applications black out all the time I say all this, because Ubuntu is advertised as basically for the common user Uhh, I don't think so. I feel like I've stretched myself for this OS, and I'm still getting nowhere ugh! -- [nvidia-glx-new] Kubuntu Login Slides Around the Screen at 1280x1024 + 3 other errors with NVIDIA GeForce 6150 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109199 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

** Description changed: The login screen is not static on my computer at startup or on any login after a log-out. If I move my mouse to the side, the whole screen slides over to that direction. There are four specific and related errors that I will cover in this post. My system and hardware: I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn. My graphics card is NVIDIA GEforce 6150.

I move the mouse, the whole screen moves, login fields and all. - Problem 2: If I log out, the mouse disappears completely when I log back in. I have to blindly wander my way around hoping the invisible mouse is somehow over what I want to click. This is on EVERY logout-login. A complete restart is necessary to undo this problem. - Problem 3: The original out-of-the-box NVIDIA setup would not let my NVIDIA 6150 display beyond 800x600. Installing an NVIDIA package from ADEPT fixed the problem promptly, but then all these errors start happening. - Problem 4: When I click test, in the display settings area, it gets stuck, requiring a restart.

Wow, a mega large comment! flowingfire: It sounds like this is actually more of a support query than a bug report and you may get faster, higher quality responses posting your issues to https://answers.launchpad.net/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ ... the login screen -still- slides around I have a distant memory that you need to be careful about the order resolutions are listed in within xorg.conf . On the line Modes [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] make sure that the resolutions that come further to the right are not larger than the ones on the left. You may also want to remove resolutions you will absolutely never use. Then my screen actually lined up correctly at the right resolution If the resolution was wrong out of the box (with the open source drivers) then that would be an ideal candidate for a bug of its own. The misalignment is down to the open source drivers probing monitors differently to the binary linux/windows nvidia drivers. Assuming your monitor is connected via an analog cable you can fix it by getting the monitor to auto adjust. I tried to install Java and it broke all sorts of things rendering the operating system unusable That's awful! Installing java should never do that. Assuming you installed it from the Ubuntu repositories (and the problem is reproducible) you should definitely file a bug on that. Having to reinstall to recover just makes the problem doubly bad. But my applications black out all the time You might want to take a look at Bug #96473 . I feel like I've stretched myself for this OS That's the way it goes I'm afraid. I've noticed things tend to work best for those who use them the most but I'm not for people torturing themselves trying to get stuff going under Linux. If it's that bad I suggest staying with WIndows for now and perhaps retrying a new live cd in six months time? -- [nvidia-glx-new] Kubuntu Login Slides Around the Screen at 1280x1024 with NVIDIA GeForce 6150 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109199 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
