I have a sony vaio desktop (PCV RZ221) which runs windows xp. I installed
ubuntu on a separate partition. The install runs fine but the graphics runs on
fallback drivers even though it has a nvidia geforce ti 4660 graphics card
installed. I have tried installing the nvidia drivers (nvidia-96) which were
recommended by the 'Additional Drivers' application. This results in complete
garbled text and video. Everything turns white once I restart the system after
installing the nvidia drivers. The nouveau drivers do not work etiher.
I have tried three different versions of ubuntu (10.10, 11.04 and 11.10) and
all of them have the same issue.
