@Eduard Two things are not correct: 1) you should remove this file: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf This is what prevents you from using the driver, as it blacklists the module that you need to use. After removing the file and rebooting your system, the driver should work.
2) This is not related to the problem that you mentioned but the error with nvidia-common should be fixed by an upgrade to version 0.2.17 of nvidia-common -- [lucid] nvidia-glx can't work with new xorg 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 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
