Hi papukaija,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Bryce Harrington: Why do need these log files? I'm just asking to update the nvidia-driver for the nvidia-graphics-drivers-71 pacgage. The newest driver isn't still compatible with X.Org server 1.5 or higher, but there are a better support for the new kernels.

Release Highlights:
Changes since 71.86.08:

    * Fixed a bug that could trigger kernel BUG() failures when stress testing setup/teardown paths.

Is the driver upgraded on Jaunty?

[papukaija (papukaija)]

Jaunty is using 71.86.08. Is it possible to update it to 71.86.09 after Jaunty has been released?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

No, it wouldn't help because that still doesn't work with the new xserver.

[morryis (morryis)]

Why is this package (nvidia-glx-71) still available, if it is not compatible with Jaunty (and Intrepid)? It causes so much confusion!

[papukaija (papukaija)]

Closing, since this package isn't in Karmic.
