After nvidia-xconfig you have to log out and in (restart X)
to load the new xorg.conf file ....

[Ganjafreak]

You mean log out my user account and log back in

[realzippy]

Yep,e.g. ...

Edit:
In fact I cannot know what your problem is,..until you specify it... ;-)
also might be good to know:
nvidia-driver version
graphic card
laptop?

[Ganjafreak]

Im on a desktop and how do I pull up that information I searched on google a fix I installed something about nvidia and edit the xconf file but you see it still didn't work


What is the terminal command to pull all that information you need up.?

[realzippy]

man xorg

edit:

what information?what xorg changes you made?And why?

[Ganjafreak]

I google'd for the problem to why I couldn't check my nvidia card settings and to turn my 3d graphics and **** on it made me installsomething that had nvidia in it and edit the xorg if you can tell me how to pull the xorg you can tell what I added.

NAME
Xorg - X11R7 X server

SYNOPSIS
Xorg [:display] [option ...]

DESCRIPTION
Xorg is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX
and UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware. It now
runs on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.

This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86
Project's XFree86 4.4rc2 release. The XFree86 release was originally
derived from X386 1.2 by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by
Snitily Graphics Consulting Service.

PLATFORMS
Xorg operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware
platforms. The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely sup‐
ported hardware platform. Other hardware platforms include Compaq
Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64, SPARC and PowerPC. The most widely supported
Manual page Xorg(1) line 1

Um, I have a thing called screenlets with info panel on it and we'll and when I click to edit it's settings the editing window pops up real huge the size of my flatscren(im on now cause moonitor said the above) and we'll I can't go to the bottom to click close or apply I just hit tab and enter How do I get that to go back down....? and I can't adjust it cause When I clck the corner to drag it don't go no where,

[Ganjafreak]

Now when I click display a pop-up asks me if I should start with nvidia or default and when i click yes to nvidia it pops up my control panel for it

thanks for helping me with that problem.

[Ganjafreak]

I just tryed to change my visual effects to the best one and it says effects could not be enabled.?

Why is that I have my nvidia stuff working now and it says on the hardware drivers the one that they recommend is active anit that strange in the past I use there recommended one and I could change the effects right afterwards what is happening lol.

[realzippy]

run again :

gksudo nvidia-settings

change something if need,but hit (important!!) that "save to X configuration file" button.
Then restart X server,means again to log out an in.Then try again starting desktop effects.

[Ganjafreak]

Okay I did restart the computer and the nvidia settings are now working everything is starting to work like it was I just need to get all my stuff back it crashed on me last night..

Um, I didn't know when you first install ubuntu after you have installed everything you have to restart. lol.

[Ganjafreak]

I have another question,

When I am on either my flatscreen or my monitor and I open my infopanel screenlet it goes fullscreen and there is no way to minimize it cause when I click the edges to drag it to adjust it it don't move. And I can't see the "Apply" or "Cancel" buttons I have to tab down to it or hit alt+t Can anyone tell me how to fix this.???

So far it's only on that one applet.

[realzippy]

Maybe you better start a new thread.The problem should be seen in the thread title....something like:
"Strange screenlet behaviour with TwinView.."

Cannot help you,not using screenlets.Used to test them,but did not like it,and remember also having problems with screenlets and compiz...
