sevensbr, I now have 1280 x 1024 running under 19-generic with nvidia-glx-new restricted drivers enabled and compiz desktop setting turned on as well. I can't quite remember exactly how I got in running but I did do these steps. * Installed package nvidia-settings from Synaptic * Installed package envyng-gtk from synaptic * Ran EnvyNG from the System Tools Menu, clicked on NVIDIA and selected Install the NVIDIA driver (Automatic Hardware detection). This downloads the latest NVIDIA driver and removed my installed package nvidia-glx-new. * I rebooted - I think I got high graphics back but I couldn't enable desktop effects. * Then I went into nvidia-settings but you need to run this as root from the command line so -> sudo nvidia-settings * Then I selected X Server Display Configuration which showed me my monitor and resolution I was running. * Then I clicked on Save to X Configuration File (I don't why I did this but it seemed like a good idea at the time). * I rebooted and noticed now a big NVIDIA splash screen just before login * I think then I could enable desktoip effects even though Hardware Drivers wasn't enabled in command --> jockey-gtk (and I think this driver listed here is the nvidia-glx-new not the new one downloaded and installed by EnvyNG) * I wanted to see if I could get the standard drivers running so I used EnvyNG to uninstall the driver. * I then removed all the packages downloaded and no longer required by EnvyNG using --> sudo apt-get autoremove * Rebooted (and forgive me but I'm not exactly sure of my steps after this) * Re-installed the standard NVIDIA drivers by enabling the Nvidia device driver in --> jockey-gtk * Rebooted again * Went back into --> sudo nvidia-settings * selected X Server Display Configuration, clicked on Save to X Configuration File * then ran --> sudo nvidia-xconfig * then ran --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (this command is listed in the comments of the original xorg.conf file)
I am not sure exactly what I have done here but some of these commands I found in ubuntuforums.org and here in lanchpad so I tried everything. Maybe this will help you. I hope so. Then someone can explain to me what I've done and why it's now working.
