hey sorry for the delay, i was pounding away and my brain and forums
yesterday so i eventually went to sleep!
ok so good news and bad news....
I reinstalled the whole system and left the nvidia-glx-new package alone, and I
installed the beta driver from NVIDIA:
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.08-pkg2.run"
or
-171.06-...
So both drivers installed perfectly and build their own files for the system
after a clean install. ok so Compiz-Fusion was
BEAUTIFUL on my new Gateway 24" monitor! (1900 x 1200 resolution) I just
mean BEAUTIFUL!
And the bad news.... everything was great until I rebooted and Ubuntu
reverts to low-graphics mode, yes I had, oh wait I mean still have right
this moment 640 x 480 on this beautiful 24" LOL its ironically funny
really...
ok and on the bright side, Compiz-Fusion is still running and is doing
its job with the cube and all because luckily even though the resolution
reset, direct rendering is still enabled so all in that matter is still
fully functional!
I'm not sure but it could be as simple as waiting until the drivers are
not Beta drivers anymore because out of all the drivers I have installed
or should I say tried to install these two are the only two that work
for if I am correct the whole 9 series of NVIDIA cards if not a few
others that may have not worked before. On their website it gives
details about the drivers and what new bugs were fixed but it may just
be they have not come across this one quite yet, thus why they are still
Beta drivers and not final releases.
Although it is a little painful looking and this resolution I am
actually quite proud of my failure LOL because I have been pounding away
at this driver since Monday and did not get anywhere until yesterday.
Most of this is probably because I am new to Linux and well I can say
through this I learned the Beauty of the shell. The beta drivers where
the first actual file that I have run in the shell as opposed to running
just a few commands that executed in their own way. The beta drivers
were very straight forward once you get them running and just a few
strokes on the keyboard and its finished, so do try a clean install and
see if you have the same trouble.
I left my previous install and its partition alone because I had the
space so now I can play with that and see what I can mess up or
hopefully improve...
I am going to switch over to the 32-bit install of Hardy and try the
same drivers and see if they have trouble there as well and I will post
a follow-up on that!
Thanks guys!
