I can confirm that problem! I've installed Feisty Fawn beta and updated to the latest packages as of 15-APR-07. My PC has an integrated GeForce4 MX and it wouldn't work with nvidia-glx-new nor nvidia-glx. It did work with nvidia-glx-legacy but I believe this old version does not suport X composite and also has problems with suspend/hibernate (at least here).
So I decided to remove the ubuntu packages and install the binary package from Nvidia's web site. I dowloaded version ...9631 , which is not the newest one, but is the latest to suport my chipset. And after instaling it successfully it didn't work. I've found out that "modprobe nvidia" causes /sbin/lrm-video to run and check whether there is a file "/lib/linux-restricted- modules/.nvidia_new_installed". It so happens that this file existed (it was still there!) even though I had already removed the package "nvidia- glx-new" that had been installed at first. I deleted this file and now the driver version 9631 works and I believe that installing the deb package for nvidia-glx would work too. Cheers, Paulo -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new back to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
