Back then I also used the tool "nvidia- settings" which I assume only changes stuff in the xorg.conf file as well? ii xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.0-3 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 1:1.0.0-3 75 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-4 standard fonts for X ii xserver-xgl 1:1.1.99.1~git20070727-0ubuntu2 GL-based X server ii nvidia-glx-new 100.14.11+2.6.22.3-11.3 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver ii nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu7 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files ii linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-generic 2.6.22.3-11.3 Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on x86/x86_64 ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9297200/.xsession-errors -- [gutsy] Logging into Gnome makes xorg restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137376 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
