my xorg is giving me trouble(only low graphics mode)

[karthik velugoori]

Hi,
I have problem with my xorg ... this is after I got a XFX 9500 GT, I had this problem in ubuntu 8.10 .... I did a few updates when I upgraded to 9.04 and somehow the problem was solved ... now it has resurfaced and can run only in low graphics mode.
Thanks in advance :)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in xorg.
For future reference you might be interested to know that a lot of applications have bug reporting functionality built in to them. This can be accessed via the Report a Problem option in the Help menu for the application with which you are having an issue or using the command 'ubuntu-bug' and the package name in a terminal. You can learn more about this feature at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

the nvidia kernel module is loading from the propritary drivers, but x is trying to load xserver-xorg-video-nv. If you installed the binary drivers from nvidia.com to get into this situation you will want to run sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall and then install the binary drivers provided by ubuntu instead after you reboot. if thats not the case you can do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 and it will overwrite your xorg.conf with the needed one.
