To those who feel I've been overly aggressive in my comments, I'll just say that after dealing with this situation through three releases, my patience has worn thin. Over a year ago, I went so far as to write a script that would warn the user about the dangers of running the applet as root, check to see if the original xorg.conf file was saved and if not, save it. Then backup the current xorg.conf file and finally invoke nvidia-settings via gksudo.
Even this was not enough for the proponents of "doing it the proper way." They warned, as someone just did, that a "work around" would prevent a "true fix" from being implemented. Well, I shut up for over a year and waited for the "true fix." It still hasn't arrived. So, yes, I've decided to take a more aggressive stand. It is obviously necessary to do so. As to the Section "Device" code someone says needs to be added to xorg.conf, implementing the nvidia drivers put that in my xorg.conf. It wasn't necessary for me to do it manually. -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
