I am having the same kinds of problems with my nVidia Quadro FX1500 256MB PCIE 16x. I have a Compaq nw9440 EZ901AA#ABA. I am getting a trashed and twisted display, if I move the mouse around it will snow.
Here's the interesting part; sometimes I can see well enough to (with GREAT difficulty) navigate to run nvidia-settings. I am using xserver- xgl but have confirmed that this still happens if I disable Xgl. This only started happening to me when I began to run hardy-proposed, however. I did not have this problem on 8.04 with nvidia 169.12, but I DO have this problem on 8.04.1 with 169.12 OR 173.whatever (I CURRENTLY have installed Envy.) It has not fixed this problem for me. The problem may, of course, actually be different; I have a different card. I also have the problem that the 'nv' driver properly detects my resolutions, but 'nvidia' does not. I believe the problem is that the EDID is reporting a pixel clock 1/2 the actual maximum. Certainly the maximum pixel clock reported is too low. I have dual-link LVDS. The EDID is version 1.3 and I haven't found a way to successfully retrieve it yet, let alone parse it properly. I am planning to back up my Linux installation and install Windows, where the card still works, so that I can hopefully try to generate an EDID there that I can load into the nvidia driver manually. Unfortunately, I am also having black screens and failure to return from DPMS. Should I generate a new bug report, or add further to this one? -- Nvidia 9600gt card not working correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231989 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
