XPSM1730 Linux Mint 9 boot splash

Post by amirage »

Hi All

I have an Dell XPS M1730 laptop and have successfully installed Linux Mint 9. Prior to installing the Nvidia drivers, the boot splash was running fine however after the drivers were installed the splash stopped displaying properly. In fact, the resolution has gone berserk. Can someone please suggest a solution?

Config - Intel Centrino Dual Core, Nvidia 8700GT Sli, 4GB Ram, 200GB HDD.

Also, I have a mini display window just above the keyboard that shows quick stats about the PC such as processor usage, RAM usage, Clock, etc. Despite installing the drivers for this, I'm still not able to get this working. Can someone please help me on this as well?

Looking forward to your views

Cheers
