Well, with the nvidia-glx you get the famous black screen. AFAIK,
GeForce4 440 Go requires the legacy drivers, and it does actually
work, sans the APIC.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html

Its true though that I was able to use this card with a 1.0-96xx
driver before w/o any problems, but not with the nvidia-glx package in
Ubuntu.

 Can you indicate whether you have the same issue using nvidia-glx?

2007-04-22 Thread Sitsofe Wheeler
Uri:
There are essentially three sets of supported nvidia drivers provided by 
NVIDIA (see 
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html 
). In Feisty nvidia-glx-legacy corresponds to the 71xx series of drivers, 
nvidia-glx corresponds 96xx series and nvidia-glx-new the 97xx series.

NVIDiA brands all cards not supported by the 97xx as legacy thus causing
large amounts of confusion all round.

NVIDIA cards being used in laptops may need extra configuration to work 
correctly:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-i.html
This is compounded by the fact that Feisty no longer hard codes monitor ranges 
into xorg.conf and the nvidia binary driver seems to be weak at correctly 
probing supported resolutions (see bugs like Bug #91292 (so the nvidia-glx 
driver probably works but needs help finding the right resolutions).

What video card does it have (give us the output of lspci -v if you
don't know)?

Are you using compiz or beryl?
