Sorry, looks like monitors.xml is indeed where you mentioned. I am running Hardy on both my desktop and laptop but curiously, the filedoesn't exist on my desktop - which is why I said I didn't have it. Could this be because I upgraded my desktop from Gutsy?
Anyway, I deleted the file, as mentioned in the mailing list post you referred and X didn't crash anymore - but only because X wasn't loading at all, probably because it was trying to load the vesa driver, which I had manually entered in xorg.conf. Usually, the computer would just lock and I'd be forced to reboot. This time I could access the terminal, edit xorg.conf and remove the driver line. I restarted the computer and this time it tried to load X but crashed, as usual, and not even Alt + SysRec + REISUB can reboot it. The funny/interesting thing is that this time I got a different "background picture" - the windows blue shutdown screen with the windows logo. The image was all distorted, as you can see here, but still recognizable. I really don't get it... I am now going to reinstall the whole thing from scratch and hope that it "solves" the problem... -- hardy xorg not detecting for compaq evo n410c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182743 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
