** Description changed: 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!
