[Bug 150989] Re: Wrong resolution for HD widescreen in Gutsy with nvidia

2007-10-22 Thread pholynyk
I have a similar problem with a Samsung widescreen LCD. I also have an
Nvidia video driver - I think that is the common problem.

If I disable the restricted driver - a pain at 600x600, for sure - I
have to reboot, and then it tries to set up 1680x1050. It almost works
(shifted left, and wrong size), but the nv driver has some problems with
non-vesa modes (I think) - so I set my resolution to 1600x1200 or
1600x1024. It's fuzzy, of course, but usable...

I, too, have used the restricted manager to set up the nvidia driver
under 7.04

[Bug 156073] Disabling gdm-login kills X instantly

2007-10-22 Thread pholynyk
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: system-services

Using systemAdmin/services, if you disable gdm, the X-server is killed 
instantly, and you drop back to a console prompt. 
Also if you have logged in from the console prompt -- since you disabled gdm -- 
and then do a startx - because you want to test your fix...and it works, so you 
want to re-enable gdm... then services tries to start a new X right away

It would be better in both cases to just change the init links, letting
the change happen on the next boot

Thanks, Scott, that looks like the right package.

Also, I'd say that wishlist might be the proper priority. It's not 
really vital, just nicer behaviour.

[Bug 150989] Re: Wrong resolution for HD widescreen in Gutsy with nvidia

2007-10-31 Thread pholynyk
Digging through _all_ the xorg logs, I found one where it had tried to
start the nvidia-glx-new driver...

It failed because the nvidia-kernel module wasn't loaded. 
I'm not sure who should have set that up when I enabled the driver, 
and I don't know how to force it after I enable the driver and before I restart 
the system...

I'm happy to help sort this out, I just don't know what else I can do...

Mine is connected through the analog VGA connector :-( the only one this
MB has.

That does seem to make a difference to the code, doesn't it.

Well, I had attached the tgz of the dir above, but oh, well...

BTW, I got on with it by copying home to an external HD, and doing a
clean install.
