Restricted manager applet and AddARGBVisuals

[Greg Haywood]

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

When selecting the option for NVidia (enabled) the process doesnot add in the AddARGBVisuals option line meaning Beryl loads without window decorations.
when it is manually added to xorg.conf all is well.

Hardware:
Geforce Go 7400
Intel coreduo

Software:
Feisty Herd 5 (all updates as of 17 March 2007)

It currently enabled AddARGBGLXVisuals, I wasn't aware of AddARGBVisuals. I'll add it, thanks for the report.

   * RestrictedManager/xorg_driver.py: Do not autodetect mouse and monitor when
     reconfiguring xserver-xorg for a new driver. This avoids clobbering
     manually added undetected resolutions. (LP: #93643)
   * po/de.po: Synchronize with Rosetta.
   * RestrictedManager/nvidia.py: Enable NoLogo by default. (LP: #93306)
   * RestrictedManager/nvidia.py: Enable AddARGBVisuals to make Beryl work.
     (LP: #93262)
   * RestrictedManager/xorg_driver.py: Do not mangle xorg.conf if package
     download/installation was aborted. (LP: #92573)
   * RestrictedManager/nvidia.py: Fix passing of driver package name, so that
     the legacy driver actually installs nvidia-glx-legacy. (LP: #92849, part
     one)
   * RestrictedManager/{xorg_driver,nvidia,fglrx}.py: Do not assume that the
     kernel module name always matches the X.org driver module name
     (nvidia_legacy vs. nvidia), but instead pass the X.org driver name as a
     separate attribute. ((LP: #92849, part two)
   * RestrictedManager/modalias.override: Add NV44A [GeForce 6200] (not covered
     by nvidia_supported). (LP: #93209)
   * RestrictedManager/core.py: When loading default or special handlers, check
     that there is actually a kernel module behind. Otherwise we will display
     handlers with overrides on platforms which do not actually provide those
     modules. (LP: #93368)

Greg Haywood, could you please be so kind and show your Xorg.0.log file? (found in /var/log/) so I can mark bug #138220 invalid?

[Greg Haywood (ghaywood)]

I am now running Feisty final release.
Here is my Xorg.0.log

Hmm, as I suspected:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "AddARGBVisuals" is not used
- that means there is high probability that this option is bogus, that this is false Option (typo of "AddARGBGLXVisuals"?) for nvidia driver somehow spreading around the internet :-)
- I haven't found no documentation whatsoever that this Option may exists, only less than 800 results in google search of various xorg.conf files
