Comment 9 for bug 109199

I deleted the "Virtual 1920 1440" line from xorg.conf. Unfortunately, the login screen -still- slides around. It just doesn't slide quite as much anymore-- it stops at a closer edge. Also, notably, the disappearing mouse problem stopped happening. Related? Who knows. But I think since all these errors happened together, I want to put them here. And since one of your solutions fixed one of the seemingly unrelated problems... well, you catch the drift... It seems like deleting that line "half" fixed the problem, as sliding is still an issue.

Of course, I understand that it's necessary to make sure one problem is addressed at a time.

Honestly, I'm totally new to this Linux thing, and am hoping to replace my Windows desktop. I don't even know what a restricted-manager is! I just went into Adept Manager, because it seemed like the right thing to do and selected the new Nvidia driver package, then installed it. Then my screen actually lined up correctly at the right resolution. Yay.

I've learned the basics of the terminal quickly, but I also have busted 2 prior installations of Kubuntu. One time, I tried to install Java and it broke all sorts of things rendering the operating system unusable. Another time, I screwed up xorg.conf. Now, in my third installation, I seem to have Beryl-Emerald, Kubuntu, and my Nvidia card talking to each-other nicely... But my applications black out all the time.... I say all this, because Ubuntu is advertised as basically for the common user.... Uhh, I don't think so. I feel like I've stretched myself for this OS, and I'm still getting nowhere.... ugh!
