[Bug 223659] Re: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution
We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Expired -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 Title: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 223659] Re: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution
This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu. Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty? If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty' so it's easier for us to track. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = New ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 Title: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 223659] Re: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution
I understood the reason for the weird refresh rate: nvidia-settings uses virtual refresh rates which it replaces by its own parameters. It's all explained in the manual for the linux proprietary nvidia driver. But, understanding that doesn't resolve the problem this bug describes. -- [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 223659] Re: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution
A little log of my attempts to fix my setup, in case it helps solve the bug(s) I just reported: 1. After noticing all that I'm describing above, I tried to enable graphical effects to see what would happen, but it fails telling me that visual effects could not be activated. 2. Then for the second time, I opened the restricted drivers dialog, the nvidia driver was actually listed by its full name (as on the second screenshot I'm including), unlike the first time where it was listed as nvidia_new, but this time the checkbox next to it was unchecked (unlike this second screenshot). Checking the checkbox actually brought up a prompt asking me if I wanted to install the driver, and when I answered yes it proceeded to install the nvidia-glx-new driver, which apparently wasn't installed yet. 3. Opening the restricted drivers a third time shows exactly what you see on this second screenshot: the driver is checked again, but still marked as disabled. 4. I tried enabling visual effects again, but with the same failure as above. 5. As noted nvidia-glx-new doesn't work properly (maybe that's another bug report in itself?), and I double-checked it installed successfully at (2.) above. However, if I replace it with nvidia-glx it works as in Gutsy: I'm able to set up my system, along with dual-screen (Twinview), with the help of nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings. ** Attachment added: Restricted Drivers 2.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13986359/Restricted%20Drivers%202.png -- [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 223659] Re: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution
Okay, another update: you can ignore (3.), (4.) and (5.) in the previous comment: if after (2.) I reboot (as prompted, I had ignored the prompt :P), the driver works, is shown as enabled, and I can enable visual effects (compiz). I still can't change the login screen resolution in an obvious, GUI way though: it's still stuck at [EMAIL PROTECTED] On top of that, after the reboot, the resolution choices I get are now... weird. The refresh rates for 1024x768 are now restricted between 65 Hz and 69 Hz. I'll just post the new xrandr output so you can see for yourself: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1600 x 1200 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1600x1200 50.0 51.0 1600x1024 52.0 1440x900 53.0 1400x1050 54.0 55.0 56.0 1280x1024 57.0 58.0 1280x960 59.0 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 61.0 1152x864 62.0 63.0 1152x768 64.0 1024x768 65.0*66.0 67.0 68.0 69.0 960x60070.0 960x52971.0 896x67272.0 840x52573.0 832x62474.0 800x60075.0 76.0 77.0 78.0 79.0 80.0 81.0 82.0 800x51283.0 720x45084.0 720x40085.0 640x51286.0 87.0 640x48088.0 89.0 90.0 91.0 92.0 640x40093.0 94.0 640x38495.0 640x35096.0 576x43297.0 98.0 576x38499.0 512x384 100.0101.0102.0103.0104.0 416x312 105.0 400x300 106.0107.0108.0109.0110.0 360x200 111.0 320x240 112.0113.0114.0115.0 320x200 116.0 320x175 117.0 I'm also attaching the new Xorg.0.log for comparison. ** Attachment added: Xorg.0.log after install of nvidia-glx-new and reboot http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13986779/Xorg.0.log -- [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 223659] Re: [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution
In the comment above, where I wrote [EMAIL PROTECTED] it should just say 1600x1200, because I have no mean of checking the refresh rate. The resolution, I know it just by the looks of the screen, and because it hasn't changed since the first login screen. I believe that's enough details for a bug ;) . Last thing I wanted to add: please do not suggest workarounds or alternate tools. I'm trying to help improve default Ubuntu, and I'm perfectly capable of finding workarounds on my own (I'll configure xorg.conf by hand if needed). -- [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
