I've been having problems with Intrepid initializing my NVidia-8800-GT. System has a single graphics card with 2 monitors. I realized I had problems after initial clean install last weekend, so I re-installed from liveCD. Used Sys/Admin/HW_Drivers to install 177. No errors reported, but driver doesn't activate on re-boot. The drivers appear to get loaded OK, but then the device which is at PCI:1:0:0 doesn't get initialized. I had similar problems with 173 though didn't collect the log files. Following this my monitors are no longer recognized even after asking 'Monitor Resolution Settings' to re-detect the monitors. Sysinfo also recognizes the card by name but doesn't report a GPU freq or RAM.

I'll fool with it for a week removing all the nv-177 stuff. I'm still looking about for the README above. ** Attachment added: "failsafeX-backup-081112135332.tar" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19603512/failsafeX-backup-081112135332.tar -- [intrepid] X11: no device detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
