Here is how to get your card working in Linux Mint (7 - 64bit):
- Get the 190.42 driver from http://www.nvidia.com
- go to console (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- kill X ("sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop")
- run the NVIDIA driver installation script ("sudo NVIDIA...run")
- follow the instructions and let the script create the xorg.conf
- reboot
- edit the xorg.conf (make a backup) => add the following lines (if not already present):
- add these lines between Section "Module" and the related EndSection
Code: Select all
Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx"
- make another reboot
- done (hopefully)
