NVidia Geforce2 not detected in Jaunty

[Dave Jones]

Having tried an upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 Alpha/Beta/RC and subsequently a fresh install of 9.04, my Nvidia Geforce2 graphics card isn't detected and there is no option to use a restricted driver.

I've also got a laptop with an NVidia Geforce2 Go card which is detected and the restricted driver is available.

LSPCI lists the undetected card as:-

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15BR [GeForce2 Ultra, Bladerunner] (rev a4)

There were no problems with card in 8.10, that was fully detected and the hardware driver available.

If there is any further information needed, please don't hesitate to ask.

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

I have the same problem. My video card is Nvida GeForce2. When I update to vers. 96 (recomended by Ubuntu 9.04) I can't use the 1024x768 resolution, because it's too hard, too low... my monitor show shadows. Looks very bad. OpenOffice very low.

Just I can use the resolution 800x600, and removing first the driver 96.X recomended by Ubuntu 9.04. How can fix it?

Sorry my english, it's no my native languaje. I write like Tarzan speak. :-)
