Xorg upgrade (gory details follow) went south. I must have a working
graphics browser by Monday. This is pretty much *vital*, as in a matter of
survival.
What is the fastest and/or surest way to get a platform that will run
firefox or opera?
a. try to get my nvidia hardware to work with a generic (vesa or vga)
driver?
b. try to downgrade Xorg to something that worked.
Deinstall the nvidia driver and try a. first. Chances are high
you will have something usable.
If that doesn't work: do b. .
Good Luck!
Uli.
Hints on either course would be appreciated.
What happened: upgraded system from 7.1 prerelease to 7.1 release p2.
cvsupped the ports tree. Upgraded Xorg and nvidia-driver (after upgrading
perl and everything portupgrade -fr perl5.8 will upgrade (as the script
failed miserably). This was after 20090124 when the mouse problem was
supposed to be fixed.
What happens: first there is something undefined in nvidia's libwfb
so I changed the symbolic link to point to Xorg's version of the lib.
That message went away, but there are tons of "Generic Event Extension"
missing messages and no mouse --- what is more the accessibility keypad
mouse thing doesn't work at all.
I can't pay my bills and I can't get to another computer to use someone
else's browser to do it.
