The problem was that they don't work properly with xorg.conf, the result is that nvidia/fglrx would always be used (or something similarly bad behaviour, can't remember or test right now). The logic in the server needs fixing before they can work. -- Timo Aaltonen Systems Specialist IT Services, Helsinki University of Technology -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
