Just one last stab at this before I put it aside for a little while and try again later..
To recap
I have changed my repos on my LMDE-64bit install to point to SID (unstable).
Before upgrade I uninstalled the Nvidia 195 driver, because update said it was going to Uninstall them.
(all files uninstalled that I had previously installed for Nvidia).
I tired going back to "Nouveau", but that didnt work.
Tried "nv" that worked.
I did all the update/upgrades with
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
took a LONG time (310 updates) but went ok.
Boot failed.
Changed back to "nouveau" from "nv"
That worked, but very low resolution (720x400, I think it was).
Could not make any better in the "monitors" gui setting.
I KNOW that I had 1680x1050 with the default install drivers. I assume it was the "nouveau" drivers.
There has to be a way to improve resolution.
My xorg.conf
Code: Select all

Perhaps if someone has a default "nouveau" xorg.conf, they could post it.
Its a shame as LMDE -SID is working fine, except for the video problem.
==========================================
PS.
I found that the Nvidia 195 driver didnt work, because the download did not include the dependnecy = nvidia-glx (195.36.31-6).
If I tried to download that seperately it was going to removed a whole bunch of xorg files, that looked necessary. So I am going to wait on the Nvidia till I find a fix.
