(1) To reproduce this: Set up:
* Install nvidia-current (I used Synaptic). * Ensure that /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist (delete it if necessary). * Reboot and login in. At this boot you should be using the nouveau driver because xorg.conf is not specifying nvidia. Confirm that the nvidia module is loaded with: lsmod | grep nvidia Reproduction of problem: * Run gnome-display-properties, either from the command line, or via the System / Prefs / Display menu option. (2) What should happen: gnome-display-properties should display its standard window and allow you to change screen resolution, etc, as it does after a fresh installation. (3) What actually happens: gnome-display-properties says: "It appears your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? No / Yes." This is the message it normally displays when you *are* running the nvidia module. Note that it tells the truth - if you select 'No' and continue to use gnome-display-properties, it does not detect monitors or change screen resolution. However, if you select 'Yes' and have it run nvidia-settings, nvidia- settings says you aren't using the nvidia module and it can't do anything either. -- gnome-display-properties does not work if you install nvidia-current https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-media in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
