** Description changed: I'm sure this a duplicate but here goes. I updated to Intrepid last fall. Things went smoothly until I tried to get my NVidia 8800 GT configured. Generally, X fails with a device not initialized error when it goes to PCI-1:0:0 which is where the card lives. I've sent details/logs/etc in previous bug reports but will regenerate them as necessary. Now I've had video driver problems since the mid-90's so this isn't unique to Ubuntu. But, I haven't had this much trouble before. The system is an hp8120n with a single 8800-GT nv card driving to 2 DVI monitors. I expected this to be fairly straightforward. Following Intrepid installation, I found that the 173 and 177 drivers didn't activate and tried several things to get them going. I also tried the direct NVidia driver installation as that had worked nicely with Hardy.Now this was a clean install of Intrepid from the live-CD. So, after a couple weeks I gave up and decided to wait it out. Now this weekend, I saw that Ubuntu has a 180 driver targeted for Jaunty and NVidia had a new linux driver installation and gave it another whirl. Kernel is 2.6.27-11 with 8.10. Nothing worked to get the NVidia card recognized and accelerated. I removed all the 177 stuff, got the 180, no joy. Removed the 180 and tried the 177 again, no joy. Tried EnvyNG, no joy. Got the NVidia linux driver released this week, no joy. I may being missing something real stupid, but would appreciate any guidance at this point. I'm no linux/Ubuntu guru, but I've been using linux since the early 90's and am not a total nooB. This appears to be posted in the 173 forum, but since that driver isn't installing either, please re-direct as appropriate. Aside: I'm anxious to get Rosegarden/Renoise running as I found a path to get my MIDI kbs recognized with a driver install update for a UA4FX USB snd card/midi interface I found on the forums. I'd like to get this resolved before another clean install ( with attendant updates, if necessary ) before DLing Studio again. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82P965/G965 Memory Controller Hub [8086:29a0] (rev 02) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:2a56] + 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8800 GT [10de:0611] (rev a2) + Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc.
