Public bug reported:
After a gutsy fresh install, activating desktop effects automatically
installs nvidia-glx-new in my system. Works fine.
Now I needed to install nvidia-settings to set up twinview, as I have a
TV attached to the PC.
Using Applications>Add/Remove to install nvidia-settings quietly removes
nvidia-glx-new and installs the older nvidia-glx which made my system
boot in emergency mode (X bullet proof mode). I got no warning or
anything when I installed nvidia-settings, everything just broke in the
next reboot.
Possibly an nvidia-settings-new package is needed. Also I'm not sure how
the tweakings done in nvidia-settings play with bulletproof X.
My solution was to get xorg.conf from my feisty installation (which had
TwinView configure) and overwrite Gutsy's xorg.conf. But I know this is
not a good long term solution, and I may be breaking something else with
this.
