[ubuntu] Xorg.conf breaks GUI

$
0
0
After upgrading Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.10 I had a problem my display was not reconized.Then tried to instal the Nvidia proprietry driver, but it failed.
After a lot of try and error ( to much to tell ), removed all nvidia* and reinstalled Nouveau.
But still having problems.

When I create an xorg.conf, there are a lot of warnings about drivers missing,
Quote:

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

FATAL: Error inserting nouveau (/lib/modules/3.0.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko): No such device
(EE) [drm] failed to open device

As soon I delete/move away the xorg.conf, I get the 1024/768 display back, which is too small and should be 1280/1024.

I read a lot about xrandr and cvt, but can't get it to work.

This is the xorg.conf that I use, but breaks the GUI.

It is an edited previously automatic generated xorg.conf.
I am even not shure if it is used or just interferes with somthing else.

Please , can someone point me to a solution.
