Michael, Kev, Thanks for your comments and pointing me to the bug report.
I am using Intrepid 32 bit. The bug report mentions a number of xorg.conf tweaks so that could be it. I would be interested to see your xorg.conf, Kev. The following comes up a lot: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" There was a warning about a missing section in xorg.conf when I activated the driver so that may be it. Thanks again (I do miss compiz!), Steve On Fri, 2009-01-30 at 18:40 +0000, Michael Wood wrote: > Yes I have, > > What version of Ubuntu are you running on the second PC ? > > There were problems with Intrepid because of the new Xorg server and > nvidia not having released a driver that was compatiable with it, > though this is mostly resolved now: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107 > > > > 2009/1/30 Steve Baugh <stephen.bau...@ntlworld.com> > I have two Ubuntu systems, this one using an Nvidia 8400 quite > successfully and anther one which is only used for my Amateur > Radio > activities. > > The second PC has an Nvidia MX440 in an AGP slot.
