Bryce,

I've tried booting to Karmic Alpha and am able to run a .wma video
(after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras of course) but only when my
two displays are set to "mirrored".

So as soon as I try to "extend" my desktop onto the second monitor by unchecking 'mirror displays' in System>Preferences>Display, the tool informs me that config files have to change and I have to logout/back in.
The problem now is that once I logout, the screen goes black, and the login screen never reappears (but there is the Ubuntu theme sounds).

So when this happened, I tried switching to run level 3 and then running
the apport-collect <bugnumber> command, which then connects me to
launchpad via the lynx web browser (which I installed previously) only
to find out that this process does not appear to work with Lynx.

I even tried copying in my older xorg.conf file and using the startx
command to try to get video, and nothing... the screen is backlit-black.

So I've attached a few files from the /var/log dir and the xorg.conf
file for your perusal.

Needless to say, since I was never able to log back in with non-mirrored
screens, I was not able to test to see if the videos work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
