no, no... |
| 17 |
there's an error in my xorg.conf, it's not vesa but |
| 18 |
nvidia, (as I need X for sending mail I had to use vesa driver for |
| 19 |
starting X and did not remeber to change it in xorg.conf when sending |
| 20 |
mail... ) :-S |

when I use nvidia driver system goes really, really slow. about a |
| 29 |
minute to change between worksapces, or open an aplication. |

|
| 31 |
nv completly freezes my sytem. |

nvidia-drivers are rebuild after kernel upgrade. |

seem that, but if nvidia-xconfig don't try to load it, why X does? |
| 46 |
lx-arnau ~ # nvidia-xconfig |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". |
| 49 |
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' |
| 50 |
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
lx-arnau ~ # grep dri /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 53 |
## Load "dri" |
