If I got the message to which I was responding right, the problem was
solved by removing xorg.conf. I was responding to (what seemed to me) an
aside comment about the configuration programme which generates
xorg.conf.


Was myself using nvidia binary drivers for some time, I had gone through
the hell on an upgrade. Finally gave up on gnome3, 3D and reverted back
to nouveau (and gnome2). Took another 3 hours to figure out that
xorg.conf needs to be deleted.

I have  nvidia GeForce 7300GT video card.
I did not find xorg.conf in /etc/X11
But when it starts gui, I get first hazy stripes. Further I get panels  half black.
Any solutions?
