For the xorg setup run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as I said before by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 then log in using your user name and password, then type in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg you will need to provide your root password(which is the same as your users password), then run it through, from my experience the default options offered by the xorg setup will usually be the correct ones for your system.

I'm not sure how to get all the info I need in order to use <dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg>, but I'll have a search. Upgrading is why I'm back to Dapper. In the past, I upgraded Dapper->Edgy, which was fine. Edgy->Feisty caused a problem, because Feisty didn't recognise the CD drive on my Inspiron (a reported kernel bug), but a kernel downgrade sorted that, and Feisty worked real good. Then I hopefully upgraded Feisty->Gutsy: CD drive recognition still broken, and various other issues; so had to do a reinstall. But couldn't reinstall Feisty (because of the kernel bug); Edgy not supported; so back to Dapper! If I can't suss the info for the xorg reconfig, I'll just reinstall Dapper from scratch, I guess. But does anyone know what keeps telling me 'Your session has been saved' when I try to log out? I guess it's Gnome? So can I disable it via preferences (where?) or a .conf file (how?). Perhaps if I could stop the session save, the log out might work properly. :-( Mac Pete Stean wrote: > I'd also add that laptop support is reported to be much better in > Gutsy... maybe time for an upgrade? > > Pete > > On 11/28/07, Daniel Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I just had problems after an update, so ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, >> after running throught the setup again it resolved it. >> >> Regards, >> Daniel >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mac >> Sent: 28 November 2007 20:53 >> To: British Ubuntu Talk >> Subject: [ubuntu-uk] How to fix Gnome problem >> >> I've been running Dapper with Gnome on a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with >> no problems.
