janitor with mint

 

Hello Raphael and whom it may concern,

Just a quick heads-up for people who want to try linux mint on their Zs.
While switching to lucid I tried linux mint kde edition and ran into
an issue with your switch-x-to script. For some reason it seems to
always link to the xorg.conf.NVIDIA . Hence booting in stamina-mode
results in the infamous "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode"
screen. the logfiles reveal X is trying to load the glx module, as it
was specified in the xorg.conf. It fails to do so, because there's no
nvidia card present. (duh!) After restarting X, the xorg.conf is gone
and everything works fine. I haven't experienced this with the regular
kubuntu lucid, so the problem has probably something to do with
different paths or something. I thought mint was relatively similar to
regular ubuntu when it comes to system files...hmm

br,
