OK, that's fair enough. I've done a little experimenting; the screen resolution is detected fine when using the open-source 'nv' driver, but not when using the 'nvidia' driver. Since the 'nvidia' driver is closed- source, there may not be much you guys can do about it, so I'm not sure if filing a bug would help. Damn NVIDIA for not providing an open source driver with 3D acceleration. >_>
Anyway, alienating 0.x% of users is not a good idea, IMO; 0.1% of the 8 million of so Ubuntu users is still 8,000, and those 8,000 people are much more likely to write bad reviews and so on than any happy Ubuntu user. Plus, if 8.04 is the release that's going to bring more users to Ubuntu (which I can see it doing, having loved the beta for several days), that 8,000 will rise. My suggestion is to put it under an 'Advanced' category or something like that - something that will stop new users from breaking X with it, but so it's still there for people to use when needed. -- Screens and Graphics menu item in wrong section https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203612 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
