Bug Description
hello,
installed Feisty beta, did all updates, build-essential.
Downloaded the recent 9755 nvidia driver from their site.
All went well.
Booted into feisty -- no problems
System/
"Your /etc/X11/xorg.con has been manually changed. Sorry,
restricted-manager cannot be used with customized configurations
Call "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" to switch back
to automatic configuration handling."
I prefer ONLY to install the driver that I download from NVIDIA's site.
I never use nvidia-glx, ever, so this is apparently a serious bug.
Now I am going to enable the wacom driver and if i get the same or similar message
i will reprot that as well.

This is basically the same as bug 97208 - because both are caused by a restriction of desktop-effects.
