[SOLVEDIssue with NVIDIA X Server Settings control on Mint 9

[kh3]

Basically whenever I try moving that digital vibrance control 1 bit to the right the program will just crash/end, I've tried changing the area that says 0.00 as well that crashes it.

-I'm using the right driver.
-System is updated.
-Didn't have this problem on Mint 8

Thanks in advanced.

Same effect when opening the settings as root?

Thanks for the reply, really appreciated.

Yep, unfortunately the same issue when running it as root.

Code: Select all

admin1@admin1-desktop ~ $ sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 225 error_code 2 request_code 140 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Is it possible this is just a bug in Mint 9?

Any reason why you're using the 173.** drivers and not the current ones? Your card should support the latest drivers.

How do I upgrade to the latest?

Code: Select all

Menu-->System-->Administration-->Hardware Drivers-->select driver-->Activate

There will be 2 choices the legacy version 173 driver and the "other one' (recommended).

Select the"other one' (recommended).
