Hi All,

I ran into issues trying to fix my display (MX 440-SE). I tried a few things : downloading a couple of nvidia packages with Synaptic, then ran nvidia-xconfig as root and now my xconf.org is broken. I tried using the backedup one, but even at that X does not start the way it should. In fact for a long while X didn't start at all. I commented out the nvidia section of it and now I get X to sort of start but I get 640X480 (at least I had 1024 X 768 before; that still wasn't good of course but I couldn't go for more).

Should I try reinstalling Ubnutu from scratch (just to make sure all those nvidia packages are gone) or just a clean xorg.conf (url please) would do ? Then should I try Martin's patch ?

I was hoping to steer my teenager from MS windows yesterday ...

TIA.
