This is going to sound kludgey, but try removing and reinstalling the nvidia driver. But even without it, your modes look fine, which puzzles me.<br><br>As an aside, "apt-get dist-upgrade" is, from all I've heard, a generally unreliable way to do business. When Dapper releases in April, I'd reccommend a backup of /home and a fresh install.

<br>Damn I hate to do this, but I'm stumped and need a little help.<br><br>So two days ago now, I decided to switch my Ubuntu box from Hoary to<br>Breezy. Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to replace hoary with breezy, did an
<br>apt-get dist-upgrade, and have spent the last two days fixing problems.<br><br>The last problem seems to be that X is comming up in 640x480 mode and<br>refuses to do anything higher. Needless to say, this doesn't work as well
<br>as the 1280x1024 mode I'm used to. I think it's stuck in default VGA-only<br>mode, and the nvidia driver isn't loading. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file<br>looks OK to me (it's attached, in case anyone cares). I've done a
<br>modprobe nvidia and modprobe nvidiafb to make sure the kernel modules are<br>loaded.<br><br>Note that to resolve some conflicts, I had to remove a bunch of packages.<br>GDM was one of the ones I removed and have had to reinstall. The solution
<br>is probably "install this package", I just don't know which package(s) I<br>need to install. I've tried some random probing (apt-get X11, apt-get<br>gnome, etc.), but to no avail. Also, don't assume I'm not missing/have
<br>checked something obvious. This really feels like an "is it plugged in"<br>sort of problem.<br><br>I'd rather not uninstall the nvidia drivers, I would like some 3D<br>acceleration with my GeForce-4 (MX 440 AGP 8x, as reported by lspci).
