-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There are two approaches, I used the second one personally.
First make sure that you have this in /etc/apt/sources.list # Ubuntu backports project (packages, GPG key: 437D05B5) deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse Then run: aptitude update Then try the apt-get line again. I did not follow the guide on the ubuntu forums, but this is because I tend to have a fairly recent kernel installed and thus tend to need recent versions of the driver. First download the latest driver (as of right now anyway) from the nvidia website wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8756/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run Make sure you have the kernel headers installed, a simple aptitude install kernel-headers should suffice. Then run the resulting downloaded .run file, like this: sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run -a It should step you through what it needs to do. I believe that latest version also sets up your xorg.conf, but don't quote me on that. After a reboot you should be good to go (well, you don't need to reboot, modprobe nvidia and then /etc/init.d/gdm restart or /etc/init.d/kdm restart depending on which you are using, gdm=Ubuntu kdm=Kubuntu) The box that has my 5600 is currently running headless, so I didn't test these instructions (the box didn't lock, but I have no idea if the TV out works) Mike Bougie wrote: > Hey everyone, > > In true Mike fashion, I think I've pooched my xorg.conf file pretty > decently.
