I have been doing some more testing and built a test box at work. hardware was as follows
Asus P5VD2-VM 2gb DDR2 ram 8600GT everything seemed to work fine. but when i got home and tested using the same LiveCD , once again i got no Nvidia drivers. after a bit more digging around, i think my issue might be caused by an incompatibility with my motherboard. it is an early socket 939 motherboard that has *both*! AGP and a PCI-e video card socket on the board. XP works fine with either kind of card, and the P5VD2-VM board ( that is PCI-e only ) appears to work fine with the PCI-e 8600GT and Ubuntu i will post again as i find out more -- Nvidia Geforce 8600 not recognized in Gutsy and unable to use multimonitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152263 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
