Hi All,

I ran into issues trying to fix my display (MX 440-SE).  I tried a few
things : downloading a couple of nvidia packages with Synaptic, then ran
nvidia-xconfig as root and now my xconf.org is broken.  I tried using
the backedup one, but even at that X does not start the way it should.
In fact for a long while X didn't start at all.  I commented out the
nvidia section of it and now I get X to sort of start but I get 640X480
(at least I had 1024 X 768 before; that still wasn't good of course but
I couldn't go for more).

Should I try reinstalling Ubnutu from scratch (just to make sure all
those nvidia packages are gone) or just a clean xorg.conf (url please)
would do ?  Then should I try Martin's patch ?

I was hoping to steer my teenager from MS windows yesterday ...

TIA.
