A little log of my attempts to fix my setup, in case it helps solve the bug(s) I just reported:
1. After noticing all that I'm describing above, I tried to enable graphical effects to see what would happen, but it fails telling me that visual effects could not be activated. 2. Then for the second time, I opened the restricted drivers dialog, the nvidia driver was actually listed by its full name (as on the second screenshot I'm including), unlike the first time where it was listed as "nvidia_new", but this time the checkbox next to it was unchecked (unlike this second screenshot). Checking the checkbox actually brought up a prompt asking me if I wanted to install the driver, and when I answered yes it proceeded to install the nvidia-glx-new driver, which apparently wasn't installed yet. 3. Opening the restricted drivers a third time shows exactly what you see on this second screenshot: the driver is checked again, but still marked as disabled. 4. I tried enabling visual effects again, but with the same failure as above. 5. As noted nvidia-glx-new doesn't work properly (maybe that's another bug report in itself?), and I double-checked it installed successfully at (2.) above. However, if I replace it with nvidia-glx it works as in Gutsy: I'm able to set up my system, along with dual-screen (Twinview), with the help of nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings. ** Attachment added: "Restricted Drivers 2.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13986359/Restricted%20Drivers%202.png -- [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 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
