(Get the code!)
Thanks ardchoille, this:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
really fucked up my system. Ended with a message that my config was corrupt and I should recheck the MD5sum?
Result: display adapter: no longer recognised, monitor: no longer recognised, carefully configured Wacom tablet settings: gone.
Thank God I had a backup xorg.conf.
Why can't someone (at Canonical I presume?) come up with a real solution to this buggy product they call "Gutsy Gibbon"?
Workarounds by users that work for some, but don't for others can't be the way to go. Not if you want Ubuntu to become a serious operating system.
(Off-topic: this isn't the only problem: sound is gone since the upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, and the random freezes of the SATA-controller are still there.)
