And here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file after logging out and killing X (control-alt-delete). Suddenly 1024x768 resolution was working, yet the refresh rate was 50, not the 60 I usually see. This is an LCD monitor, though, so refresh rate doesn't really mean much, I think.
This time metacity wasn't working. I had to do "metacity" in a terminal. So, in two attempts, I had one time a bad resolution with metacity, and once a good resolution without metacity. Two different symptoms, and their behavior seems quite erratic. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log.nvidia2" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7365064/Xorg.0.log.nvidia2 -- Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107947 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
