Thanks. What's the difference between 17xx legacy driver and 195xx driver?tec_wiz wrote:http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=55165
Re: Nvidia?
I solved this way:
open synaptic and make sure that libgl1-mesa-dri is not installed
open the terminal and in sequence enter:
su -> will ask for your password
apt-get install module-assistant
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common
apt-get install nvidia-glx
apt-get install nvdia-kernel-source
apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
then need to activate the driver from the terminal by typing:
m-a prepare
m-a a-i nvidia
modprobe nvidia
nvidia-xconfig
then shut-down and reboot the PC and verify if the driver is OK typing from the terminal the command glxinfo | grep render
if everyrhing went OK U should have an output like the above
ciao

Command line could'n find nvidia-kernel-source, so I installed it through the Synaptic.twa wrote:Snitch,

But modprobe nvidia isn't working - "FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/nvidia/nvidia.ko): No such device"
