[Bug 145718] Re: [Gutsy] Allow to choose a different version of nVidia driver
I believe that as early as Ubuntu 8.10 this feature is already available. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I can see options ** Changed in: restricted-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- [Gutsy] Allow to choose a different version of nVidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think it would be really convenient to allow a user to choose among different drivers in the restricted drivers manager. -- [Gutsy] Allow to choose a different version of nVidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 145718] Re: [Gutsy] Allow to choose a different version of nVidia driver
Ubuntu already ships 3 different nvidia drivers: nvidia-glx-legacy (7xxx series), nvidia-glx (9xxx series), and nvidia-glx-new (100.xxx series). If you don't want to use the 100 series drivers, it should be as simple as "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx", providing that the 9xxx series drivers actually support your card. If what you are asking for is a way of selecting this driver from the restricted drivers manager, then it might be a good idea to re-target this bug at that package. -- [Gutsy] Allow to choose a different version of nVidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 145718] Re: [Gutsy] Allow to choose a different version of nVidia driver
I fully agree on your proposal.Either the 9xxx driver as default, or a choice between them. I've had this problem since the early beta of the 100.xx.xx driver and it is persistent in both Feisty and Gutsy. Had to reinstall Gutsy Rc and install the 9xxx with "manual" configuration. Although this might be the wrong fora, using the 100.xx.xx driver as default will hit newbies - trying Ubuntu for the first time - straight in the planet. I'm using a mainstream HP Pav 6xxx.
