I guess nouveau is default, when there's no xorg.conf in /etc/X11, but maybe it's just vga. > Yup, that is the one fix I installed first.

Try Envy24 Control only. > I'm thinking what I may do first is reinstall a clean 10.10 system and > get the NV driver working. Then install the -lowlatency kernel from > your PPA. Then get the 1010lt working with the onboard card disabled. $ ls /etc/X11 Is there already a xorg.conf? Editing one can be very tricky, especially for tube monitors, but I (we) can help you. To avoid doing a complete reinstall all the times, backup your install. As root, from another Linux (e.g. from a live CD) run cd /path/to/root_directory_you_will_backup tar czf /path/to/target_directory/backup_file_name.tar.gz * Note that globbing will not copy hidden files (file names that start with a . are ignored) that usually aren't in the root directory. Hidden files inside folders are copied to the archive. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
