Okay, another update: you can ignore (3.), (4.) and (5.) in the previous comment: if after (2.) I reboot (as prompted, I had ignored the prompt :P), the driver works, is shown as enabled, and I can enable visual effects (compiz). I still can't change the login screen resolution in an obvious, GUI way though: it's still stuck at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On top of that, after the reboot, the resolution choices I get are now... weird. The refresh rates for 1024x768 are now restricted between 65 Hz and 69 Hz. I'll just post the new xrandr output so you can see for yourself: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1600 x 1200 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1600x1200 50.0 51.0 1600x1024 52.0 1440x900 53.0 1400x1050 54.0 55.0 56.0 1280x1024 57.0 58.0 1280x960 59.0 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 61.0 1152x864 62.0 63.0 1152x768 64.0 1024x768 65.0* 66.0 67.0 68.0 69.0 960x600 70.0 960x529 71.0 896x672 72.0 840x525 73.0 832x624 74.0 800x600 75.0 76.0 77.0 78.0 79.0 80.0 81.0 82.0 800x512 83.0 720x450 84.0 720x400 85.0 640x512 86.0 87.0 640x480 88.0 89.0 90.0 91.0 92.0 640x400 93.0 94.0 640x384 95.0 640x350 96.0 576x432 97.0 98.0 576x384 99.0 512x384 100.0 101.0 102.0 103.0 104.0 416x312 105.0 400x300 106.0 107.0 108.0 109.0 110.0 360x200 111.0 320x240 112.0 113.0 114.0 115.0 320x200 116.0 320x175 117.0 I'm also attaching the new Xorg.0.log for comparison. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log after install of nvidia-glx-new and reboot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13986779/Xorg.0.log -- [Hardy][Nvidia][Dual-Screen] Fresh install, nvidia-new driver shown as unused, wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
