The problem with enabling the "visual effects" might still be related to Jockey (i.e. it's still a different bug).
It looks like nvidia-settings didn't touch your xorg.conf at all. Type: sudo nvidia-settings configure the screen resolution and refresh rate as you like and then click on the "Save to X Configuration File" button. Then log out and log in. Let me know if you can still reproduce the problem. P.S. next time please attach the file (by clicking on "Add a comment/attachment " and then on "Attachment") instead of copying and pasting its content in the bug report. -- gnome-settings-daemon conflict with Nvidia Xserver settings in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
