Comment 10 for bug 214914

Hello

For those who haven't made it, the solution has been given by twist2b:

Found fix:
actual fix for almost ALL jockey issues:
" Changing line 60 in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/xorg_driver.py from
self.xorg_conf = xorgconfig.readConfig(OSLib.inst.xorg_conf_path)
to
self.xorg_conf = xorgconfig.readConfig(OSLib.inst.xorg_conf_path)[0] "

So,
$ sudo gedit /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/xorg_driver.py

find line 60 and add the [0] at the end.

It solves everything. Without a reboot, i could open the hardware
drivers window, but i still had problem with sound. After a reboot
everything is just working well.
