Indeed, things went 'horribly wrong' :) "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" appeared to go well, monitor resolution AND refresh were written correctly during setup - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yet, when actually trying to use them, metacity once more failed to load, and what was much worse, I couldn't use the keyboard on a terminal window (perhaps the x.org changes modified my keyboard incorrectly?). A failsafe GNOME session loaded with metacity fine. I tried once more normally, and the resolution was too low, and again no metacity.
I again used a failsafe GNOME, and restored the old xorg.conf. This didn't work, surprisingly! I restarted yet again, and removed the nvidia binary driver via the Restricted Drivers Manager. Another restart, and resolution&refresh is fine in "nv". Yet metacity is not loaded - perhaps this is an unrelated issue, I am starting to think. Anyhow, I am stuck with "nv" once more. Now, I am quite sure the problem isn't my monitor or graphics card; both worked fine with Edgy until 2 days ago. It seems a big coincidence for one of them to fail just as I install Feisty. -- 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
