Pete / Daniel >>> Thanks for suggestions. I'm not sure how to get all the info I need in order to use <dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg>, but I'll have a search.
Upgrading is why I'm back to Dapper. In the past, I upgraded Dapper->Edgy, which was fine. Edgy->Feisty caused a problem, because Feisty didn't recognise the CD drive on my Inspiron (a reported kernel bug), but a kernel downgrade sorted that, and Feisty worked real good. Then I hopefully upgraded Feisty->Gutsy: CD drive recognition still broken, and various other issues; so had to do a reinstall. But couldn't reinstall Feisty (because of the kernel bug); Edgy not supported; so back to Dapper! If I can't suss the info for the xorg reconfig, I'll just reinstall Dapper from scratch, I guess. But does anyone know what keeps telling me 'Your session has been saved' when I try to log out? I guess it's Gnome? So can I disable it via preferences (where?) or a .conf file (how?). Perhaps if I could stop the session save, the log out might work properly. :-( Mac Pete Stean wrote: > I'd also add that laptop support is reported to be much better in > Gutsy... maybe time for an upgrade? > > Pete > > On 11/28/07, Daniel Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I just had problems after an update, so ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, >> after running throught the setup again it resolved it. >> >> Regards, >> Daniel >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mac >> Sent: 28 November 2007 20:53 >> To: British Ubuntu Talk >> Subject: [ubuntu-uk] How to fix Gnome problem >> >> I've been running Dapper with Gnome on a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with >> no problems.
