I haven't been able to switch to the VESA driver. When I make an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to do that, I get this error in my /var/log/Xorg.*.log:
[ 21.764] (EE) VESA: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load However, I noticed the emacs problem doesn't seem to occur as the root user. So I deleted several .* files and directories (settings files and dirs) in my home directory. After I logged out and logged back in, I no longer have the emacs display problem. Unfortunately, I didn't delete them one at a time. I have a back up of them. I'll let you know if I find the one that caused a problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689761 Title: Half of emacs window missing _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
