Okay, I managed to get an older version of xorg.conf working, which while not ideal at least makes the computer usable again.
It seems the problem wasn't so much with displayconfig-gtk failing to preserve the settings as it was with xrandr/new display config system not supporting s3virge (at least as far as I can tell). While it's understandable that development effort hasn't been focused on such an old chipset, and the new user-friendly method of configuring X is a good idea, it would be nice if there was a better fallback method available for setups that aren't supported by the new tool. While the old method of running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to configure X wasn't exactly user-friendly, it was still a lot easier than writing an xorg.conf by hand! -- displayconfig-gtk settings don't persist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218791 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
