linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and installed the nvidia drivers from their website (304.60 Latest Long Lived Branch). They are just not working. Resolution is down to 640x540 or something. I run sudo nvidia-xconfig getting as result: Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' but when I try to open the settings with nvdia-settings I get: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidi (HowTos)

Well ever since I have used dual monitors with the NVIDIA X Server Settings program my xorg process has been crashing after a while, and its generally a pretty long while of like 6 hours afterwards. Before NVIDIA changed my xorg.conf file I only had xorg crash like twice in 2 months, I can't figure out what is going on.

tv-out Xorg.conf issue, 1 year 44 weeks ago

Hi all,I am using a script found on this forum to switch between two xorg.conf to enable/disable the tv-out, it work like a charm however the resolution isn't working and the error about the resolution appear on the left of the screen.

Hi,

Have a Dell Latitude E6500 with nvdia Quadro NVS 160M video card. The resolution is set at 1920x1200 which makes things quite small on a 15 inch screen.

Hi,

I've been trying to get my graphic card working under ubuntu and opensuse but to no avail.

First, i tried through additional drivers, but after installation it keeps saying "this driver is activated but not currently in use". That is 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards.

I have a problem with nvidia ion in ubuntu 12.04 I found some solutions for another eee pc here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677780 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=301 but are strictly for another model of asus eee pc.

My problem is:

nvidia-settings says: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.

Hello,I was using nouveau with xf86-video-nouveau for some time on my Laptop with GeForce 6150 and AMD Dualcore CPU.Now I wanted to switch back to nvidia or nvidia-ck-kx to be preciese since I'm using the CK Kernel. I have used the CKKernel with nvidia-ck driver before.So I installed nvidia-ck-kx and nvidia-utils to replace libgl with it.

I have used rEFIt to achieve triple-boot on my 15' Retina Macbook Pro. However, for now I cannot get the nVidia drivers to work under Ubuntu 12.04 x64.

Every time after I installed the nVidia Driver, X won't restart, and give me an error of "No screens found".

I have tried both drivers from nVidia's website and drivers from Proprietary Drivers in Ubuntu's System Settings.

currently, I have a lubuntu laptop with nvidia driver installed.

I'm trying to extend my display, but (after a couple of reboots) all I can see on the other display is a big X whenever I move my cursor to that display.

below is my xorg.conf file:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 295.49 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-07.nvidia.

Hi

I've installed Fedora 17 and installed the necessary libraries and drivers for my nVidia card:

Code: $lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) I have two monitors:

Code: Dell 2208WFP (1680x1050), DVI ViewSonic VG930m-3 (1280x1024), DVI I want for each display its own Xscreen (i.e., Twindisplay feature is off).
