I am trying to get my xorg.conf correct on Ubuntu 8.04. In order to get my video to work with MythTV, I need to load the propriety "nvidia" driver. Unfortunately, when the nvidia driver is loaded, some of my windows are completely blank. My terminal window is blank, my "Updates are available" window is blank, and the System Monitor window is blank. I'm sure there's more but I haven't looked around for them.
If I change the driver to "nv", then the problem doesn't occur but then I can't display video.
Below is my xorg.conf. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it? Or, what questions can I answer to get me on the way?
