Comment 13 for bug 747069

This computer is now running 64-bit xubuntu 11.10:

Ubuntu version and kernel version
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=oneiric
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.10"
Linux compaq 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+
cpu MHz : 1000.000

lsmod shows that the nvidea driver is being used

I have an xorg.conf file to control the screen mode - a portion looks like

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "Configured Monitor"
        Option "DPMS"
        HorizSync 28-51
        VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 1
                Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection

It was previously running 'natty' with the same xorg.conf file.

I'm not sure if I can just boot the live xubuntu 11.10 cd - I'll try that later.
