Selecting nvidia restricted driver kills gnome

[mike]

Using the Alpha 5 CD and then allowing the updates to occur appears to be successful.
Selecting the restricted accelerated driver (I have a Geforce2 MX400) which has worked fine until about the alpha 5 time frame now results in the following failure.
At boot up the log in screen appears at a much lower resolution that before the switch, and after logging in a sand colored background and the cursor are the only visible things.
I have tried this three times, this last time touching the bare minimum until getting an updated system and then trying to use the restricted driver.

Does it work now? If not, attach your Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf.

Timo, I don't see all the replys to the email notifications I made reflected up on these pages.
The emails appear to be directed back to this issue via the reply to address, but am I mistaken ? do I need to cut and paste them by hand, did you get them ?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I got this one, and I only work via the launchpad, so please don't mail me directly.
