Hi, Problem could be that you have other packages installed in the xorg-driver package which were pulled automatically when you installed X. That means you have probably other modules and dependencies unresolved. What I did was first of all removing all unecessary xorg driver packages, xorg modules which has nothing to do with this configuration anyway. Then I copied only the corresponding package content from 12.04 (that is in my hack tar.gz).
My package list is therfore pretty lean: dpkg -l | grep xorg ii xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 amd64 X.Org X Window System ii xorg-docs-core 1:1.7-1 all Core documentation for the X.org X Window System ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 amd64 X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2 amd64 Xorg X server - core server ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu2 amd64 X.Org X server -- evdev input driver ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.9.0-1build1 amd64 X.Org X server -- mouse input driver ii xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse 1:13.0.0-1build1 amd64 X.Org X server -- VMMouse input driver to use with VMWare ii xserver-xorg-video-mga 1:1.6.3-1build1 amd64 X.Org X server -- MGA display driver rc xserver-xorg-video-vmware 1:13.0.2-2ubuntu1 amd64 X.Org X server -- VMware display driver hope that helps Regards, Zoltan 2014-06-28 11:41 GMT+02:00 iwbnwif <iwbn...@gmail.com>: > I am having exactly the same issue as this on two brand new Dell > PowerEdge R360 which I am setting up for the first time.
