I installed the proprietary driver for NVIDIA via the utility 'envy'. I think it installed it properly since I see this:
$ glxinfo | head -4 name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation envy deinstalled the previous NVIDIA driver, downloaded the source of the driver, compiled and installed it properly. However, when I try to enable 'desktop effects' via the top menu, there is a window that pops up asking to "Enable the driver". If I chose yes, it reinstall the NVIDIA driver from Ubuntu packages (which does not work). If I say "Cancel", it refuses to enable the desktop effects saying (please run "desktop effects" again after restarting the computer, when the new graphics driver is active). But as far as I know, it *is* active, it's just not the default driver from Ubuntu packages (faulty) but the driver built by 'envy'. -- [gutsy] proprietary driver for NVIDIA accelerated graphics not working (regression from Feisty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157265 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
