nvidia-304 304.131-0ubuntu0.14.04.1: nvidia-304 kernel module failed to build (Attempting to setup Ubuntu on a Asus P5be Mobo & Geforce 7300gs)

Hi.

Attempting to setup Ubuntu 14.04 lts on a 6gb/Asus P5be Mobo & Geforce 7300gs.

I've tried some PPA's like xorg-edgers seems to freeze on wallpaper towards unity desktop loading. It seems to get to login ok, it's the driver issue which is causing chaos.

I've got to the desktop in 640x480! Using:

Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.6, 128 bits)

I'm out of ideas now. I'll enquire on the forum.

Regards,

Mani.
