Public bug reported:
Here is the configuration :
- Ubuntu 9.04
- CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
- RAM : 2Go
- Graphic Card : 2 GeForce 8800GT (512 Mb each)
- Screen : DELL E228WFP
- General configuration : DELL XPS
Problem :
This problem appear when X11 has been updated for "auto-configure" screen and
graphic configuration (I mean since this update, xorg.conf is by default empty,
it is like "plug-and-play"). I can't remember when this update has been made
(which Ubuntu version) but since that version, I need to manually configure
xorg.conf to have a graphic interface. If I do not, I get a message :
Fatal server error
no screen found
giving up
Xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to xserver
Xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error
So I have to use vi and edit xorg.conf to configure manually my hardware
configuration.
I can't identify if the problem comes from my screen (DELL E228WFP)
which is not auto-detected or if it comes from the fact the I have 2
graphic cards. Here is my xorg.conf file :

This bug is not really important if you are a good linux user and know
how to configure screen with X11. But for beginer user, it's hard to do
that because you have to configure X11 with the live CD, then re-
configure it when system is installed, then if you want to use nvidia
driver in stead of nv, you have to configure xorg.conf again.
