After quite a long gap I have finally got around to changing from the nVidia
drivers to the vesa ones. I did try to use the Nouveau ones but they were
excluded by default and when I allowed the kernel module to be loaded my system
froze at boot just as the warning comment said.
(From my Xorg.0.log)
(II) LoadModule: "vesa"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so
(II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.3.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0
(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
I will try to enable the 2nd monitor as I had done previously and I will update
this bug if I see the original problem again.
