Damn I hate to do this, but I'm stumped and need a little help.
So two days ago now, I decided to switch my Ubuntu box from Hoary to
Breezy. Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to replace hoary with breezy, did an
apt-get dist-upgrade, and have spent the last two days fixing problems.
The last problem seems to be that X is comming up in 640x480 mode and
refuses to do anything higher. Needless to say, this doesn't work as well
as the 1280x1024 mode I'm used to. I think it's stuck in default VGA-only
mode, and the nvidia driver isn't loading. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
looks OK to me (it's attached, in case anyone cares). I've done a
modprobe nvidia and modprobe nvidiafb to make sure the kernel modules are
loaded.
Note that to resolve some conflicts, I had to remove a bunch of packages.
GDM was one of the ones I removed and have had to reinstall. The solution
is probably "install this package", I just don't know which package(s) I
need to install. I've tried some random probing (apt-get X11, apt-get
gnome, etc.), but to no avail. Also, don't assume I'm not missing/have
checked something obvious. This really feels like an "is it plugged in"
sort of problem.
I'd rather not uninstall the nvidia drivers, I would like some 3D
acceleration with my GeForce-4 (MX 440 AGP 8x, as reported by lspci).
Thanks.
