Having about the same problem. Just after install of nvidia drivers 9631 everything seemed to work fine. I tested immediately the "switch user" functionality, it looked promising. After a shot while the problem appeared again: switch user causes pop up of a login screen but in a wrong resolution: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And after logging in one cannot switch a resolution: [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the only available for GNOME preferences. Optimal resolution for my monitor (Philips 190B) is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried to remove from xorg.conf all available resolutions except the optimal one, but it did not help at all. AFAIR, I did not have such a problem with open "nv" driver, but I have to try more to see if it is actually like that. Currently, I am trying "nvidia-glx" driver from the official repository. Other problem, that I have is caused (sometimes) by the following sequence of events: 1. log in with some user 2. switch user 3. try to switch user again Sometimes on the 3rd step system just locks. It does not respond to any keys Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-F1 or whatever. Probably, these problems are related. They also may be related to the bugs #72229 and #68855. My system: ASUS A7N8X, Athlon XP 2500+ with nvidia GeFroce 4 Ti 4200 (XFX). Ubuntu 6.10 with latest updates. I would really appreciate any tips: what log files may I study to locate the source of problem? What additional information may I provide to resolve these issues? -- Switch user causes screen resolution to change https://launchpad.net/bugs/44562 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
