My friends, maybe you could advice me on this issue. I followed these steps successfully, when Hardy came out.
1. Download the 173.08 nvidia beta driver here http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html click on archive and find the 173.08 driver. 2. Purge the nvidia restricted package and the nvidia-kernel-package if installed by doing a "dpkg --purge nvidia-glx-new nvidia-kernel-common" 3. Kill the gdm server, "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" 4. Install the driver downloaded in step 1, unless you are brave you need to let the nvidia installer modify the xorg.conf file. 5. start gdm server "/etc/init.d/gdm start" I was using Ubuntu happily, till this black Friday, when I run the apt- get update. Update ruined my xorg cofig I guess. So I downloaded the latest driver and followed the steps provided by you in Revision 3 again. The driver installed successfully, but now my resolution is limited to 640 x 480... . It feels very uncomfy... . I suspect that the resolution is limited due to the incorrect monitor setting. I'm using Nvidia 7600 gt with Samsung SynchMaster 17 inch. I don't know much about configuration, but can follow the instructions patiently. Could someone help me to troubleshoot the cause of this inconvenience, please. Thank you in advance. -- [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
