Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
(Not sure if I am reporting against the correct package)
I am trying to run Kubuntu 7.04. I have a desktop machine with 4 GB of
RAM. If I wish to run the 32-bit edition, I have to install the linux-
image-server image in order to access all 4 GB of RAM. However, this
image does not have the corresponding linux-restricted-modules or at the
very least, does not have the proprietary nvidia drivers available. I
confirmed this by searching in /lib/modules/*. As such, I cannot access
the higher resolutions using my nVidia 8800GTX video card.
If I install a regular desktop linux kernel image, I am able to get the
proprietary nvidia driver but then am only able to access approximately
3 GB of RAM.
The best solution would be to have an additional linux kernel image
optimised for desktops but supporting 4 GB of RAM (i.e. 64GB high memory
support) along with the proprietary nvidia driver. A reasonable
solution is to allow the proprietary nvidia driver to work if the linux-
image-server kernel has been installed.
If this is already possible, my apologies in advance.
