Title:
4 GB ram with 9500m GS video card will not load driver
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I have an Asus G1SN laptop with an NVIDIA 9500m GS video card and also
4 GB of ram on the laptop with 512 MB of ram on the video card. After
upgrading to 8.10 (64 bit version), the NVIDIA driver will not load
but Ubuntu will load in low graphics mode (i.e. 2D).
In 8.04 I had to recompile the kernal so that it would allow the
NVIDIA driver to load correctly. With this version when I try to load
the NVIDIA driver (version 173 or 177) and reboot the system comes
back up and says that the configuration cannot be recognized.
Currently I cannot recompile the kernal to use the video driver as the
packages are not yet available for the new version. Right now not
having the 3D capability prevents me from using some of the programs
which I have installed on they system.
I have the most recent updates for my system but this does not seem to
help with this issue.
