I hope there is someone here who can help with this annoying issue. For whatever reason, when I booted into Ubuntu Gutsy this morning my graphics driver and sound driver were no longer recognised. I hadn't performed an update, although this is now irrelevant. I was forced to enter into a 'low resolution' mode of 640x800. I updated my kernel headers via synaptic which allowed the audio to function again and the nVidia driver (restricted drivers) to load. However, now I can no longer enable widescreen resolutions.
If I enter System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics and select the 'Widescreen' option I just receive a message saying 'All Users Must Log Off For The Changes To Take Effect'. If I do log off then I just get a 640x800 resolution again. I'll paste my xorg.conf file below in the hope that someone can recommend some changes. Also, what's with all of the xorg.conf files? I've never had so many before! I've got xorg.conf through to xorg.conf.18 a xorg.conf.backup and a few xorg.conf.failsafe files. Below is just xorg.conf. By the way, my notebook is a Compaq Presario V3118AU. The screen resolution is (should be) 1280x800.
