[Bug 117211] Re: glxinfo crash at startup after nvidia driver install
Sudhir: OK, there is nothing more I can do to help you because all my advice would depend on never having installed the drivers manually (trying to go back to the NVIDIA binary drivers after manually installing the binary driver tends to only lead to a big painful mess). The moment you manually installed the drivers your support options changed - you're free to do what you like with your system (it belongs to you!) but doing certain things will change who and where you can get support/help from. Any problems that occur after installing drivers not provided by Ubuntu repositories should not be reported to the launchpad bug area. If the drivers were downloaded from the NVIDIA web site then the NVIDIA linux web forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 ) is an appropriate place to report issues. If a 3rd party installer was used please contact the 3rd party for support. Other places for manual driver support can be found on the Community Support page (http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport ).

Re: [Bug 117211] Re: glxinfo crash at startup after nvidia driver install
Thank you for your help once again ! Right as you said, When I installed ubuntu and wanted to configure Beryl, I did instal NVIDIA dirver version 8174. Then I did some software update and was forced to downgrade to 7184 as Xserver would not boot and the error trace said that the drivers needed were 7184. Why would this happen?? This puzzles me. So I installed 7184 again. The XServer started to work. If you could please advise or point me to the latest driver for this Graphics card, I would be grateful.
