Bug Description
I can not install the Nvidia-GLX driver. ( Ubuntu 7.04 )
If i choose the Nvida driver, the X Server Stop with following message :
Code:
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-7184, but this X module has the version 1.0-9631
Check if this is not the same issue as https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux-restricte d-modules- 2.6.20/ +bug/105928 - in which case the problem is solved if you install nvidia-glx-new. If someone finds a proper report on the issue of upgrades for people who have nvidia-glx installed, please link to it.
