I dared to make the distribution upgrade to hardy 8.10.
Since, beside the announced bugs of the pre-release, my x-server is doing it its own way:
It says to install the latest nvidia-driver
When I do so and restart the computer, the x.conf file is corrupted and I have to reconfigure the monitor manually and so on...
...and no 3D and no Open Arena and no Eye Candies from my nvidia 8500GT with 512 ram!
I snooped around and found those startup-errors:
- Code: Select all
Warning: Could not retrieve EDID because get-edid is not installed (1)
discover: unrecognized option `--enable-all'

Now I'm looking for a save way to reinstall from scratch my graphics resp. my x server
(I used to use two Monitors with cool nvidia-configure settings and it worked just fine.)
Thanx for helping a Newbee out of this flooding sand..
(I googled around for some days, befor submitting my problem)
