Somewhat related question. I use the Nvidia drivers here and have not
had any issues in a while. How does one use VESA if the Nvidia drivers
fail? One used to change it in xorg.conf but most don't have a
xorg.conf any more.
You have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory though. You can put
snippets in it with the *.conf extension and X.Org will read it when it
starts. For my GPU setting for example, I use
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/gpu.conf. It has a "Device" section in with:
Driver "nvidia"
This can be changed to "vesa" at any time.
So basically it is done the same way. If you don't have a *.conf file,
just create one and chose vesa. I was thinking this had changed and I
missed it. I guess I haven't missed anything. Weird. lol
The thing that changed is that X.Org was unable to pick defaults in the
absence of a config file. Obviously you need a way to change the
settings if the defaults are wrong for you. This hasn't and, obviously,
will not change.
