You don't need to use nvidia-legacy (which is the 7xxx series of drivers). Your card is compatible with nvidia-glx (which is the 96xx series of drivers). See http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html . You may have been better served using restricted-manager as mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia . The resolution problem is also mentioned on that link and is mentioned in Bug #91292 (although the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is not mentioned in that bug and is a good tip).
nvidia-settings doesn't work with the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers which is why the window is empty.
Can you uninstall nvidia-glx-legacy, install nvidia-glx, remove the file /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_legacy_installed , reboot, log into X. Can you then run glxinfo and glxgears and report back the results? Can you also upload the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log produced at the end of all this?
This is more of a support query than a bug report though and you may have received a faster/better response using one of the methods described on http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport rather than bugs.launchpad.net ... |
FSHero:
It's not just the forums that you can go to - there's IRC and http://answers.launchpad.net/ too. Generally speaking you file bug reports when you know what is causing the issue and have reproducible steps that _someone else can follow_ to reliably reproduce the issue. This allows you to file the bug in the right package (in this case although you saw a problem with briquolo I suspect the right package was probably linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20). http://live.gnome.org/BugzillaGuidelines contains a good description of what needs to be in a bug report. If it turns out that something that originally looked like a support request turns out to have a clear underlying bug then bugs can be filed.
Thanks for following up on this. Closing because previous comments suggest the issue has been resolved. |
