Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Following the instructions at the alpha 2 page under "Known Issues" using the nvidia-current driver failed, forcing X to start in low graphics mode.
Excerpt from wiki page:
"Jockey (Ubuntu's restricted driver manager) doesn't yet support the new alternatives system used by the nvidia driver packages, so in order to install nvidia drivers you will have to install them from the command line:
*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (or nvidia-173 or nvidia-96)
* select the alternative that matches the driver that you have installed
o
(e.g. /usr/lib/
sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf
* update the ld cache:
o
sudo ldconfig
* then configure your xorg.conf with:
o
sudo nvidia-xconfig
* And restart your computer. "
I did select option 0 (ld.so.conf) in ldconfig as above, but it failed.
