http://www.backtrack-linux.org – Hey guys, after a few apt-get updates, and editing my /etc/default/grub (to suit the nvidia card, optimus tech), my screen has become cut off on the right and replaced back over on the left... its weird, i would post a screen shot, but ksnapshot takes a normal looking screen shot.. hmmm Anyways, heres a few outputs of configs to have a quick read over to see if anything is causing the problem. xorg.conf Code: # bare-bones XFree86 config to start the server in probe-only mode Section "Files"         FontPath        "/usr/share/X11/fo (HowTos)

Extremely slow machine 3 years 16 weeks ago

Hello,

I run F12. Since some days my laptop has become very sluggish. In Mozilla, switching between the tabs takes like seconds instead of fraction of a second. Also minimizing and mximizing windows takes long. Switching between the windows too takes long. Now I can't see the cursor while typing this post.

Hello, I wanted to remap the buttons on my Evoluent mouse, so I added following section to the xorg.conf:

Code: Section "InputDevice"         Identifier        "Configured Mouse"         Driver                "mouse"

hello all, im trying to get my matrox graphics card to work with debian lenny, ive already installed the compiz packages and have xserver-xorg-mga display driver. however, when i try compiz --replace, i get the following error

Code: Checking for Xgl: not present. No whitelisted driver found my xorg.conf looks like this currently

I've tried installing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 8100 with GeForce2 Go graphics), and it seems to finish successfully... however, when I boot, I see the splash, it fades away (like it should, I think), but nothing else happens (the system is silent, except for those weird sounds that the system always makes).

undue seg fault 3 years 11 weeks ago

In the following program though most of the working part of the program is commented out, it gives seg fault. reducing the value of MAX to say 10000 removes the seg fault. Why is this happening? it should be only 1 MB only. Is 1 MB too big for an array?

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX 1000010

xorg.conf for widescreen LCD TV 3 years 24 weeks ago

I have just installed Fedora 12 (64 bit), and I'm having troubles getting it working on my widescreen LCD TV. Before I installed the nvidia driver, it worked fine. After I installed the nvidia driver, it showed output on the screen until it gets to the logon screen (I never actually see the logon screen), where it goes black.

I have just installed Ubuntu (9.10/karmic koala) on an old compaq computer (I don't know specific model names/type as we found it in the closet with no case/markings), Ubuntu will not allow me to set my resolution higher than 800x600 at 60Hz, this monitor can do 1280x1024 at 75Hz. I have written xorg.conf.new and when I test it I get a blank screen.

Hey guys,

Trying to get my work laptop to play nice with my 20.1 1680x1050 monitor.

I am running 9.10, the laptop runs at 1280x800.

Display manager won't let me select 1680x1050 for the Dell. Just goes up to 1440x900.

My xorg.conf is as follows.

Code: Section "Screen"

I am a bit confused about my current kernel/kmod-nvidia update situation. When I run "yum check-update" I am confronted with the output below:
