[[Category:LinuxMCE Configuration]]


==description==
with some drivers/installation, booting may lead to modifying its xorg.conf file. that happened with lmce 7.10 DVD installation and an md with intel gma 3100 chipset. <br />
it seems to be a matter of driver not allowed to handle the card.

==recognize the bug==
try
 lshwd | grep ' VGA ' | head -1 | sed 's/^.*(\([^()]*\)).*$/\1/'
if you get 'vesa' then you may have the bug; try then
 lspci | grep ' VGA ' |  sed 's/^.*controller: //' | sed 's/ (.*$//'
if you get something like '''Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller''' then you are using the driver and having the bug

==one solution(preventing xorg.conf rebuilding)==
this solution is not good but works. at least, so far that i tryed it
#log (ssh) in the media director as root
#follow [[Custom_Display_Resolutions#Step_4:_Prevent_LinuxMCE_from_changing_the_Xorg_config|prevent lmce from changing xorg]] (basically, insert a new line with exit 0 on 2nd line of ''/usr/pluto/bin/Xconfigure.sh'' ).
#run '''dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg''' to generate a clean new xorg.conf. follow instructions. if you don't know, keep default values
#reboot the md: '''reboot'''

==using other drivers==
i am testing this atm(guigolum)
