** Description changed: - Feisty on amd64. I tried the "restricted drivers manager" to enable the proprietary nvidia driver (currently I'm using NV driver). When I tried to enable the nvidia driver, it informed me that xorg.conf was altered previously and that I should "Call "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"to switch back to automatic configuration handling." I did that. It asked me only for driver (I selected nv) and resolution (I selected 1280x800). After restart the screen was in resolution 1024x768. And x keyboard setting was English (I was using Czech). - I tried using the nvidia driver. After restart (screen still in 1024x768) I played with Compiz for a while and than I wanted to return to my previous settings (resolution, x keyboard). I replaced the generated xorg.conf with the automatically created backup. After restarting the PC, the resolution and x keyboard were correct but Compiz remained enabled which led to rendering the windows titles over the main gnome panel and some other graphical difficulties. But Compiz could be easily disabled via the menu. Strange is that the nvidia driver, according to restricted driver manager, remained enabled and cannot be disabled without running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg". - The problems are: why isn't the resolution recognized correctly (even though it asked me for resolution), why it changes keyboard and how does restricted driver manager recognize that a driver is enabled and in use? + Feisty on amd64.
