Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx > LlamaLand https://netllama.linux-sxs.org I installed the FX 3700 driver (177.82) and I now have a true 1920x1200 desktop - it looks great ! However now I lost all my GL screensavers (none of 'em work) and no desktop effects. Here's the new xorg.conf (below). Anyone have any thoughts ? Note: I tried changing "vesa" in the Device section to "nvidia" and I get the old resolution again.
