Fix: Worked for me anyway. Found this somewhere on the internet cant
remember where so jist was
The xorg accelmethod defaults to xaa instead of exa in 9.10
display runs under the xserver which used to use a file called
xorg.conf for config info, but there isnt an xorg by defualt in 9.10 it
does other things. but it will use it if its there rather than
defaulting to its new settings.
press
CTRL ALT F1
need to stop x server type
sudo service gdm stop
get prompted for user and password, enter them
to create a default xorg type
sudo Xorg -configure
creates a file in home dir, called xorg.conf.new
start x server again
sudo service gdm start
need to edit the xorg now. i did it in a terminal doing sudo nautilus
then renaming xorg.conf.new to xorg.conf and using gedit to edit it.
need to add to the device section the EXA line ...
Section "Device"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
[...]
EndSection
copy the file to /etc/x11/
you can restart or sudo service stop then start again. if it all goes
wrong you can delete the xorg from there with a live cd i guess. its
supposed to default to a failsafe xorg if it cant run from the existing
xorg but dont know if that works or not. worked for me. alls back the
way it was. im sure its a bit jumper now though not sure if im going to
keep it this way or put it back the way it was (delete the xorg from
etc/x11) ...
maybe not a cure all but it worked for me.
