[SOLVED] Nvidia Install Help
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 10:51 am
I cannot for the life of me get the nvidia-drivers to work with Linux Mint Fluxbox Edition. I have followed every guide with no luck. It just comes up in horrible resolution and I have to revert back to the nv driver.
The first problem I had was that lspci didn't truly detect the exact card I had. I did a ton of installs / uninstalls of the nvidia-driver(s) before I caught this. I found an article on the forums and ran the following command which now detects my card.
which now gives me in lspci
I have verified the 02:00.0 is correct in my xorg. I have modified the /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common to include nv (and nvidia_new also).
I guess my first question is the GTX 260 supported under the current drivers / kernel available to me? Then I do not know where to go from here
uname -r
