Re: [Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick

2011-04-11 Thread Larry Siden
Thanks.  I finally got the proprietary driver from Nvidia to install and
it's working so I'll leave well enough alone and hope that they fix the
problem in the next Ubuntu release (11.4) so I can go back to the distro
package.

 it seems to me that you need the 260 (for natty 270) family of drivers,
 not the 96 one.

 @NoOp
 That's because you removed nvidia-common (which is what Jockey uses to do 
 hardware detection with nvidia).
 
 In other words I think things are ok. A one-line change in Jockey didn't
 cause that.
 

Ah. Got it. That makes sense. Thanks.

 My computer already got Alberto's nvidia-96 from maverick-proposed, but
 it won't get jockey from maverick-proposed if it is published with a
 regular debchange increment.
 
 Do this to disable the PPA and get the official jockey release if/when
 it becomes available in maverick-proposed:
 
   $ sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:dajhorn/nvidia-96
   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall jockey-common jockey-gtk
 

Aleady did that - thanks :-) I'm just waiting for jockey to build before
I test together. Thanks again Darik for the early PPA build(s).

 I followed the instructions by luk1don (post 45) on this page. It
 asked me something about some preinstall script but I just said
 continue. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10082431
 
 Then to enable effects I just followed the instructions from the
 Italian website posted earlier here. First run sudo gedit
 /etc/X11/xorg.conf and save a backup somewhere. Then just add the two
 lines below to xorg.conf anywhere under the Screen section. Option
 AddARGBGLXVisuals True Option DisableGLXRootClipping True
 

However, several days following nVidia's fix/update
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/626974/comments/71)
and no action from Ubuntu.

Loading the driver manually will cause it to break with kernel updates.
The driver needs to be fixed in Ubuntu so that those of us with older
nVidia cards can upgrade/install properly.
