hi guyz
i hav a problem with XGL system

when i decided to install it (i'm using ubuntu 6.06)

i installed it form http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#H...z_.28Nvidia.29

but without this step GDM Configuration Customization file (i didn't understant it

)

wht happend now

when i start ubuntu after that

i found

faild to start the X server (your graphical interface)
it's likely that it is not set up correctly . would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem ?

and i can't start my system

what can i do to restore my system
sorry i'm new in linux

plz reply me

Get yourself to a command line (I assume you can still do that?) Then do this:

Code:

sudo cp /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom-backup
gksudo vim /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom

Add these lines:

Code:

[servers]# Override display 1 to use Xgl
0=Xgl 

[server-Xgl] 
name=Xgl server 
command=/usr/bin/Xgl :0 -fullscreen -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo 
flexible=true

That's what you didn't do, but it's kinda important. Guess this'll teach you to follow the directions even if you don't understand them. Better yet, why not stop and ask two clarifying questions so you do understand before you continue.

When you boot the machine and your xserver fails doesn't it leave you at a command line? Try it from there.

If you are using vim, like the reply over is telling you to do, you just press INSERT to insert text / modify text, then ESC to remove the INSERT, then type :wq wich stands for write&quit.
Need to be ":wq" (with the : first)

Did you do this step when you were not following the directions? It's the very first step.

Quote:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup

If so, then do this from the command line to restore your old settings

Code:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Try automatix bleeder - http://getautomatix.com/wiki/index.p...omatix_Bleeder , installs heaps of stuff including xgl/compiz for nvidia cards. Saves a lot of hair pulling
