Bug Description
When I run the emgd-xorg-conf script from the emgd-1.8 ppa it fails and does not make the xorg.conf file it is supposed to make. The issue is that there are extra [ ]s around the screen resolution entry for the dell 1210 causing the script to fail when you run it. I manually edited mine and it runs fine. This bug has already been fixed in the src with this commit: 28 revid:<email address hidden> however, the emgd-xorg-conf in emgd-1.8 has not been rebuilt since the patch was applied. It is fixed in emgd110.
I am stuck here in Natty as when I tried oneiric it was just to unstable. Hopefully in a few months I will be able to jump to precise and psb_gfx... This is not a big deal for me as I already fixed and ran it, but I would hope we could spare someone else the trouble.
If it does not get fixed and someone finds this report and needs to know what to do, here is the workaround.
* in a terminal run "cp /bin/emgd-xorg-conf ~/emgd-
* edit it with "sudo nano /bin/emgd-
* Go to line 127 where you should find "[["1280x800", "24"]]" (Line 126 should be the one for the Dell 1210)
* Delete one set of the brackets so it is like this "["1280x800", "24"]"
* Save the change and then you should able to run the "sudo emgd-xorg-conf" without errors.
* To check if it really worked, make sure you now have your configuration in /usr/share/
Here is my xorg.conf file if someone needs it.
