[xubuntu] xorg.conf doesn't work in 11.10

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a xorg.conf that works in Ubuntu 9.10. The xorg.conf adds a new modeline and setup dual monitors. Recently, I tried Xubuntu 11.10, and sadly found that the same xorg.conf doesn't work anymore. To be more precisely, I did see the wallpaper showed in the correct resolution in the beginning, but then my first monitor, Dell 2007FP, turned black. I checked with xrandr -q, and found that the new modeline doesn't exist. I also tested the same xorg.conf in debian 6.03, no problem at all. My guest is that the new Xubuntu adds some kind of screen auto detection, and this cleasr the setting in x (Hardware)

No xorg.conf 26 weeks 4 days ago

I was going to install catalyst on f18 to take it out for a run. Went to backup my xorg,conf but my system doesn't have one, is this usual for f18?

Code: [sayth@renshawfamily ~]$ cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup-`date +%F` cp: cannot stat ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’: No such file or directory It hasn't affected my system on f18 which is currently as stable as a mountain goat.

Initially X does not use xorg.conf. So suppose I have a certain monitor installed with the system, then X will be set in accordance to that monitor.

If I change the monitor after a reboot, what problems will I face?...will X work properly? How does X handle this situation?

X11 & xorg.conf question 2 weeks 2 days ago

Due to the lost access to the consoles 1-6 (as consequence of an installation of amd catalyst driver) and a failed attempt to remove fglrx using the instructions of el_koraco i checked my /etx/X11 directory and i found out that obviously the installer of the fglrx driver does not save the old xorg.conf as xorgconf-old (like presumed in the manual) but as xorg.conf.old-0 (and so on).

I have the same gfx cards as youmy setup:remove all the (nvidia, intel, noveau, etc) and install xf86-video-fbdevremove xorg.conf and any xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf you might haveremove any reference to vga or nomodeset from your /boot/grub/menu.lstreboot and startxyou should be able to have your screen in mirrormy problem is that I'm unable to have dual screen and I've tried installing

Problem with M11x R3 and F16 1 year 7 weeks ago

Okay so I have installed F16 x86_64, and I have an issue. I went through the http://forums.if-not-true-then-false...php?topic=31.0, bumblebee install, for the intel hd3000 + gt540m and when I disabled neuveau and then manually installed the new nvidia 290.40 whql stable.

The stupid Nvidia manual install I wasn't paying any attention and said yes and it wrote an xorg.conf.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up dual Dell Ultrasharp u2311h (23 inch, 1920x1080) monitors with my ubuntu 12.04 partition. I'm running a Radeon 7970HD graphics card with the fglrx drivers (from the ati website), and for some reason my xorg.conf file keeps messing up. Every time I back up xorg.conf, delete it and reboot it seems to works fine.

Try to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf (it should work fine without an xorg.conf file). If you still have problems, post the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

First of all I have an Nvidia geforce 9800 gt and here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Code:

Section "Device"     Identifier    "Default Device"     Option    "NoLogo"    "True" EndSection I feel there should be a lot more to it and found that if I booted into recovery and selected root shell and entere

I guess I'm not a total beginner to Ubuntu, but when it comes to XORG I feel like I am.

I have two monitors, monitor 1 has a resolution of 1440x900, monitor 2 has a resolution of 1600x900.
