I've upgraded to Oneiric since my last post. I used again the tip above to force Unity to starat, and it worked fine even with nvidia-current. Looking forward to Precise as Unity is said to be even snappier in that version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I tested the tip in this link to force Unity to start: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37629/geforce-go-7300-7400-blacklisted- can-i-still-run-unity It did start but the launcher was a mess. I then deactivated nvidia-96 and activated nvidia-173 in stead, and now I have Unity working with Compiz

@Alberto: I noticed that blacklisting entry also in the first output i posted. Is it possible to change or remove the blacklisting? How? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu.

@Alberto: I think your point would be very valid if the hardware that was very old too. But in Lucid, I got full 3D effects using the nvidia-173 driver, in Maverick, I had to downgrade to nvidia-96, and in Natty, there's seems to be no way to get 3D neither in Ubuntu Classic or Unity. Maybe I'm

I've disabled Cedric's PPA and purged all nvidia stuff, then reinstalled nvidia-96 again from natty-proposed making sure to set gl_conf to auto, reconfigure nvidia-96, and run sudo nvidia-xconfig. Still, I get no Unity support or 3D effects in neither Classic nor Unity 2D. I've attached again some

I've purged other nvidia stuff, added Cedric's PPA, and installed nvidia-96 successfully. I've set gl_conf to auto, reconfigured nvidia-96, and run sudo nvidia-xconfig. As far as I can see,everything should now be OK but still, I get no 3D effects or Unity support. Either, I'm doing something

I installed the updated driver from NVIDIA's web pages as it was claimed to support xorg-server 1.10. However, it seems that the X server still loads the Noveau routine and I don't know how to prevent that. So no luck for me. Hope that with time, something is done with the distro- provided

I got this too. Didn't notice it before install as running from the Live, it couldn't run unity anyway. I've always had to install proprietary drivers anyway before having any serious eyecandy so expected things to work out after doing that. That being said, when going from Lucid to Natty, I had

Unfortunately, the problem isn't solved after all. I still have the occasional (and rather frequent, it feels) keyboard and mouse lag. Moreover, which might be related, I sometimes don't get to the login screen at all. I'm just left at the splash screen forever and am forced to use the power

I issued bug #590966 but have now marked it as a duplicate of this one. I've been experiencing a lagging mouse and keybord for some time after getting to the login screen. This seems to have been solved by writing a new xorg.conf from the NVIDIA X server settings application and as such, I'm quite
