Getting new error message on startup after rming xorg.conf from
/etc/X11.
You are rinning in low-graphics mode.
The following errors were encountered. You may need to update your
configuration to solve this.
(EE) open /dev/fb0:no such file or directory.
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension(Compatible NVIDIA driver not found).
Didn't think rming xorg.conf would cause this but regenerat itself. Apparently
not.
Tried to run nvidia-settings but is said something to the effect that nvidia
driver was not installed and to run
nvidia-config which I did It generated one of the old style xorg.conf files
shown below and so far have rebooted twice without
any low-res messages or any error messages. I know that several reboots are
needed without any errors before it can be called a fix.
Here is the new xorg.conf generated by nvidia-config:

Hope this helps and fixes the issue. Hope also that someone is reading
this bug report and it hasn't died. Would appreciate some feedback just
so I know it is being monitored and worked on. Be glad to supply any
info needed when requested.
