I tried something like the following (sorry, it's not in my
.bash_history anymore) and the problem mysteriously disappeared:
sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg | egrep -v '^ii'
| awk '{print $2}')
Having confirmed that X worked at all, I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and let gdm do its thing. Success. Thanks much for your help.
The only remaining problem is that I am not able to turn on two-head
support. Trying from the gnome monitor thingy
(/usr/bin/gnome-display-properties), I'm told "required virtual size
does not fit available size: requested=(3840, 1200), minimum=(320,
200), maximum=(1920, 1920)". Google suggests this may be related to
KMS support, which seems from what I read to be driver specific.
- Is this a driver issue? If not, I'll follow on elsewhere
- If it is, is there a work-around?
Thanks.
