Same problem here. On boot the Screens and Graphics screen does not show nvidia as an option (even after reselecting the nVidia proprietary driver and rebooting -- or after installing the nVidia driver via EnvyNG).
The nv driver can be selected off the Screens and Graphics menu, however, clicking on Test always fails. When I boot, X fails and I get the low resolution error dialog. When I click on the Continue button, I end up in the GNOME desktop at 800x600. The Hardware Drivers screen shows the nVidia driver has the Enabled box checked and the Status shows a green light and says "In use". When I run the NVIDIA Settings application, it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver..." The Xorg.0.log file shows loading the nVidia driver successfully: (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 169.12 Thu Feb 14 18:34:02 PST 2008 (II) Loading extension GLX The only error message in the log file is the following: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) I hope this helps. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12858578/Xorg.0.log -- [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
