I don't know why the Creighton server encrypted the email.  I thought is
was something on your end that did that (I received a CC copy of the
encrypted email too), but I guess not.  I'll resend in a separate email.

Hello eyelander: Why the encryption? I cannot open it anyway.

Status in "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24" source package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg

I am using an Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 on Kubuntu with Ubuntu metapackage 
installed too. Worked fine in Feisty and Gutsy.
I upgraded from Gutsy with the restricted driver removed. After, the screen 
looked slightly shifted to the left (start button), and found the card was was 
set to vesa. I discovered the "Hardware Drivers Manager" in the "System" menu 
and selected the restricted driver.
After a reboot I got dumped at the console. It complained displayconfig-gtk was 
not installed, so I apt-get to install. After another reboot I got a VGA screen 
with the displayconfig dialog. The dialog shows only vesa, and driver available 
"open source" and greyed out.
I can select the geforce2 card, but this seems to be ignored. Monitor is shown 
correctly, but Resolution allows 800x600 only. After a reboot it logged in with 
correct maximum resolution 1024x768, card vesa, driver nv, restricted driver 
has been deselected by the system.

I read about installing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-xx-386 manually
so I did this and got different behavior. Now if I select resticted
driver and reboot, I get the displayconfig dialog. It correctly detects
the card, but not the monitor. So I select it manually, set the
resolution and get dumped in the console. Reboot and its back the
displayconfig but the card is vesa again.

I know you cant use dpkg reconfigure-xserver xorg any more, so thats me
stuck!

Please let me know what info is required to track this bug.
