I use these cards effectively on Ubuntu (now 12.04.1 ) - the *easiest* way on this distro is to use the built in "additional drivers" function to suggest the best and then install them with the utility. I have two screens one 1920x1024 the other 1680x1050 and it works a treat. Graphics card is GeForce 210. I have in the past messed things up by loading the wrong module or incompatible resolutions in xorg.conf - now i leave it to the OS and nvidias control panel. regards, Simon -- Next meeting: 2012-10-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
