Uninstalled Derik's repository & installs (purged nvidia* (sudo apt-get purge nvidia*) and jockey-common & jockey-gtk) and reinstalled jockey-common & jockey-gtk 0.5.10-0ubuntu5.2 proposed. 2. Rebooted w/o nvidia in low graphics mode - perhaps because I purged nvidia*? 3. System|Administration|Additional Drivers - jocky does not find the nvidia-96 drivers. 4. Reinstall nvidia-96 manually: sudo apt-get install nvidia-96... reboot. System|Administration|Additional Drivers shows nvidia-96 proprietary driver is activated & currently in use. 5. System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects|Extra - works (basic wobbly windows etc). System|Administration|NVIDIA X Server Settings works. 6. Install compiz-settings-manager. System|Preferences|CompizConfig Settings Manager - cube & rotate cube works. The only part that bothers me is the initial failure of jockey to recognize & offer to install the nvidia-96 driver. While this may possibly be related to my purging nvidia*, jockey should (IMO) still detect the card following the clean reboot. So, until someone can explain why it does not: nvidia-96 96.43.19-0ubuntu1 works, but jockey 0.5.10-0ubuntu5.2 does not. -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 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
