Okay, usually users set up a proprietary driver with the graphical tool for proprietary drivers.
This tool sets up the nvidia proprietary driver in xorg.conf. The users instead, doesnt know about technical details like xorg.conf at all. I noticed very often in our linux user group that there are problems with kernel updates and no proprietary nvidia module can be loaded. The Ubuntu distribution improved a lot in handling the proprietary drivers so this shouldnt happen, and i dont blame Ubuntu for situations where it happens anyhow. Users that have to build kernel or graphic driver from sources will meet the problem all the time, that they have to deal with failsafe xorg. So, what i'd like to see is that xorg should smoothly initialize with the nv driver at the correct solution if proprietary driver is not available. This would be better than running into the complicated failsafe xorg which is not even localized, i found that users are very frustrated with it. -- prioritize drivers in xorg.conf instead of fixing one https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333820 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
