Well, even with that particular PPA, my screen is detected as 1024x768 instead of its true 1366x768. The last tweak I tried was to force it to work with xorg.conf but the GUI would stop loading completely instead (until the xorg.conf file was reset, that is). - Carlos Solís <div class="gmail_quote">2011/12/14 Emil Velikov <<a href="mailto:emil.l.velikov@gmail.com">emil.l.velikov@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:43:13 -0000, <a href="mailto:csolisr@gmail.com" target="_blank">csolisr@gmail.com</a> <<a href="mailto:csolisr@gmail.com" target="_blank">csolisr@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I've tried to use Nouveau several times, with several operative systems (Ubuntu, Mint, Trisquel).

Would somebody mind to create a script to download the sources, compile them and install them? - Carlos Solís </blockquote> </div></div> Hi Carlos To the best of my knowledge, an old version of nouveau should not cause your screen to be "detected as being smaller than it is" Nevertheless such a script is quite a tricky thing to make due to the specific "requirements" every person/ GNU Linux distribution has. I have personally worked out a script to build and install the latest nouveau and I've got fed up with it due to the various hacks that had to be used - read "Debian(Ubuntu) is using nasty hacks when compiling their libdrm, kernel" Thus I would advise you * If you wish to use Ubuntu/Mint try the latest packages from xorg-edgers[1] should be up to scratch * Try another Linux distribution (such as Arch, Gentoo, etc.) where you can easily rebuild everything from git Regards Emil [1] <a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Exorg-edgers/+archive/ppa" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa</a> </blockquote></div> <style>img, #cubbies-overlay{ -moz-transition-property: margin, box-shadow, z-index; -moz-transition-duration: 0.1s; -webkit-transition-property: margin, box-shadow, z-index; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s; } .cubbies-selected{ z-index: 9999; box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px -1px blue !important; cursor: pointer !important; margin: -3px 3px 3px -3px; } .cubbies-selected:active{ box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px -1px darkblue !important; margin: -1px 1px 1px -1px; } #cubbies-overlay{ position: fixed; z-index: 9999; bottom: 30px; left: 30px; box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.8); border: none; } #cubbies-overlay:hover{ box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgb(0,0,0); }</style>
