Leonard: I have all of the nvidia*185* packages installed, and my card is listed as supported. All packages installed without issue, the module built successfully, etc. If I knew how to get more information about why the module was not loading, that would be helpful. I actually never get a "low graphics mode" message; kdm runs but X fails to start (aborts) because it can't load the nvidia driver. When I remove the xorg.conf file which nvidia-xconfig creates, X and KDM start correctly, using the NV driver.
I haven't yet tried going through this involved procedure (which, of course, shouldn't be necessary) to install the latest one directly from NVidia: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107406.0 -- proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469470 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
