Comment 61 for bug 261318

First off....I reverted my xorg.conf file back to the defaults after posting yesterday. That caused an inability to boot....not recoverable in safe mode (repairing X). So I booted with the live CD and replaced my xorg.conf file with the backup that was made when I replaced it....solved the problem. While in the live session, my brightness hotkeys were working as they had under Hardy/Intrepid. After the live session I booted as normal and my brightness hotkeys are working again under Jaunty.

So at least I'm back to normal....but still not happy ;-)

I suppose I should run another live session and see if the seemingly missing modules are there.

STEVE:
Thanks for the info on the possibility of my install being messed up. I have no idea how to go about proving it one way or the other. Any ideas?

I can say that all signs point to the upgrade having been successful...correctly reports as 9.04....notification area changes are seen...perhaps anecdotal tidbits...but there ya go.

DAVE:
Thanks for the fnxfd info...I'll give that a whirl....much appreciated. I still wish this kind of messing around to get basic things working was not necessary.....hopefully it gets there soon ;-)

I saw your comment on fresh vs upgrade installs. I sure hope that's not the case for me....but I fully understand that customizations can cause problems for upgrades over time ;-)

Thanks All
