I just did a fresh install on my new rig. I also upgraded my old x86 to |
37 |
the new xorg as well. Keep in mind that I have had hal disabled all |
38 |
this time. I removed all the fdi files that hal needed a long time |
39 |
ago. Everything works fine here on both rigs. I say all that to say |
40 |
this, can you get the config files back to a point where it would be |
41 |
like hal never existed at all? Maybe some config file is being read |
42 |
that shouldn't be read at all? |
43 |
|
44 |
Also, I generated my xorg.conf file with nvidia-xconfig. After I fixed |
45 |
a kernel issue, it has worked fine ever since. I would be glad to send |
46 |
it off list if needed. You may not want to use it but you may can |
47 |
compare it to yours. |
48 |
|
49 |
Is it possible you have to much in the way of config files? |
