It simply does not work with kernel > 2.6.32. Affected all ubuntu systems > 10.04 LTS. Changing nvidia driver does not help at all.
This is clearly not an nvidia-graphics-drivers but a regression in the linux kernel or kernel options. Guys who build kernel for the ubuntu should just make a diff on 2.6.32 and find out what has been broken. Affected hardware: Asus M2N-68 (AMD on AM2) / NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (pci-e) Acer Aspire 5920G (Intel Core 2 Duo T7300) / NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (pci-e) some AMD 64 system / NVIDIA GeForce 7200 GS (pci-e) N86PV-GS (AMD on AM2) / NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX (pci-e) Solution I use for now: sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-21 sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661248 Title: Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT doesn't work with nvidia-current 260 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
