I think the problem is that the "nv" driver does not support the 8800 series. (I have the same problem), although the vesa driver does. The vesa drivers do some funny things like some crashes and lockups. Also it don't support high resolutions, eg 1680x1050 like my screen
Currently there is _none_ drivers that works with 8800 in any ubuntu packages. Both nvidia drivers 9746 and 9755 works with these cards, but are not yet in repos (edgy or feisty) -- Edgy and Feisty don't work with Leadtek GeForce 8800 GTS https://launchpad.net/bugs/91556 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
