Nvidia Linux drivers for 8700M GTX & bluetooth daemon on XPS M1730 laptop

Nvidia Linux drivers for 8700M GTX & blue-tooth daemon on XPS M1730 laptop

the kwin crashes after installing and then rebooting but also the blue-tooth module has crashed once or twice.
Thing is after installing the Nvidia driver, the resolution is reset to 1024x768 and the desktop effects won't enable and then I cannot change the screen resolution.

Thanks

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

HI there Bryce, thank you for your driver update, I took the precaution of uninstalling all the
Previous drivers from Nvidia before installing yours - after it compiled its modules and successfully
Installed I rebooted and was able to configure both desktop effects and a resolution of 1280x1024.

IN the Nvidia Control panel it acknowledges native settings to be 1920x1200 but says the frontend is
1280x1024 which is the maximum resolution I can attain.

Now the default distro drivers will give 1920x1200 easily but doesn't allow desktop effects.
This is the dilemma I have with Kubuntu 4.09...I will let you know how it goes with Ubuntu.
