	with some drivers/installation, booting ~~a media director~~ may lead to modifying its xorg.conf file. that happened with lmce 7.10 DVD installation and an md with '''Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller''' and ~~led to using~~ the ~~vesa drivers <br />~~		==description==
	one solution is:		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 />
	#log (ssh) in the media director~~. to do so:~~		it seems to be a matter of driver not allowed to handle the card.
	##get the media director's ip (md_IP)in webadmin->wizard->devices->media director. you just get its name and you have a field named 'IP' which gives you the required ip. (something like 192.168.80.X, where X is a number).
	~~## log yourself~~ as root ~~on the core: sudo bash, enter password~~		==recognize the bug==
	~~## once you got ot, just type ssh <md_IP>~~		try
	#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'' ). ~~to edit you can use vi:~~		lshwd \| grep ' VGA ' \| head -1 \| sed 's/^.($[^()]$).*$/\1/'
	~~## '''vi /usr/pluto/bin/Xconfigure.sh''' to open the file~~		if you get 'vesa' then you may have the bug; try then
	~~## place the cursor on the beginning of line 2, press'i' , and add 'exit 0', enter, to add the line~~		lspci \| grep ' VGA ' \| sed 's/^.controller: //' \| sed 's/ (.$//'
	~~## press ':x', enter.to save the file~~		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		#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'''		#reboot the md: '''reboot'''

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