Hi;
I received the following response to a bug report I filed with livna
http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2106
I am not sure whether I am mis-interpreting or that the suggestions are
a non-fix.
"# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
[file shown on " http://pastey.net/96653"]
Ah, that would be why - nvidia-xconfig and livna-config-display tend not
to play nicely together for a few
reasons... Essentially, I recommend either telling livna-config-display
to stop editing configuration files or
removing the Files section and reboot to let livna-config-display
autoconfigure the xorg.conf.
Essentially, this is because to make sure everything works properly and
that the nVidia libraries don't
overwrite the stock ones, we shuffled file locations a bit compared to
the nVidia installer. nvidia-xconfig
expects things to be installed as they would from the nVidia installer,
so it's best to disable livna-config-
display and finish tweaking xorg.conf manually. Otherwise,
livna-config-display can just take care of the
rest."
I tried:
1) "removing the Files section and reboot to let livna-config-display
autoconfigure the xorg.conf." Nothing was reconfigured.
2) "telling livna-config-display to stop editing configuration files"
Still had the original booting problem with the original xorg.conf file
created by nvidia-xconfig.
3) "so it's best to disable livna-config-display and finish tweaking
xorg.conf manually" I am not clear on what should be tweaked or how?
4) "Otherwise, livna-config-display can just take care of the
rest." To me, this is a non sequitur that in context only confuses the
issue. Any suggestions on what it means?
If anyone can help, all the basic data is with bug #2106, or I am
willing to re-supply it.
