Comment 172 for bug 251107

problem with any nvidia drivers starting from 'displayconfig-gtk' package,which is not included in 8.10 distribution!/was in 8.04/.What I've done: in time upgrading from 8.04,after completing instalation,instaler ask if you what to keep some no more need packages.I've foud 'displayconfig-gtk' and check for keep it.After reboot I run: programs-other-screens&graphics find my monitor and set correct resolution,on graphic card I've already got my card and nv driver/only available at this moment/.Then I've pick up awailable updates.Now run drivers applet-I've see two awailable for my card drivers/one 'recommended'/,choise install 'recommended'-reboot system.Now I've got NVIDIA X Server settings fully working!/at programs-other-screens&graphics new nvidia driver appear/
my card Nvidia FX5700VE,driver nvidia-glx-173
Driver installation without keeppinng 'displayconfig-gtk' - I've got NVIDIA X Server settings intalled,but max resolution WAS 640x320!!
This way I've check on two different computers ant cards/second one TNT2 with 32MB memory/
If you not have 'displayconfig-gtk' than mayby that is any way to install it from deb repozytorys,but I'm not try this way.Exclusion 'displayconfig-gtk' from 8.10 doing that in Live session no possibility to change screen resolution suitable for monitor and friendle work.
