This topic was already under discussion and several people mentioned that it hoses the system :twisted:

Funny that you in the very same thread warned against this?? :twisted:

I guess you're out of luck now ... Image

You could try this as root (maybe you have to put "sudo" in front of this command?):

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
If that doesn't help I suggest you reinstall. I personally installed Ubuntu 7.04 on a spare laptop and I quite like it :D (except the stupid brown theme of course which I had to replace with something blueish ... )

Try This

I also upgraded to 7.04 and my Mint wilted. I recovered by replacing the xorg.conf file (in /etc/X11) with a backup. I then power-cycled my computer and everything seems to be running.

I did receive another large batch of updates after my "fix". I have not tried Envy as my display looks to be working well.

Hope this helps.

wouldn't it make mint a bit more stable for these lost souls to revert to edgy repos? :D
Windows is extremely fast after a fresh install. If you want to make it stay that way: - don't use it.
