Did you try to dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-common? nvidia-common 'tries' to detect obsolete drivers and remove them. A modeline has nothing to do with modual aliases (modaliases).I have seen in the past where multiple versions of the nvidia packages being installed will cause oddities or failure of the

Prior to the reboot, reinstall all of them. It won't affect their configuration. I have done this myself many times. So change your second step to add those three to the install. -Nick On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 3:45 AM, Stefan Pappalardo wrote: > Hello Nick, no I don't think that this is a good ide

Ah... I bet this is at least part of your issue. You have several conflicting packages installed. Try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* Followed by: sudo apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases nvidia-180-kernel-source nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-settings && sudo reboot Then you will need to s

Oh you only disabled VSync in Myth? You also need to disable it in the Nvidia Settings. -Nick On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 12:29 PM, Stefan Pappalardo wrote: > No, I did not reverse the changes "with no effect". All three changes were > in at the same time. In other words the UseEvents option of xorg

Have you been reversing the changes when they "have no effect" each time, or leaving them in? The UseEvents and disabling VSync are normally used together. If you haven't done so already, try both at the same time. -Nick On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 3:52 PM, Stefan Pappalardo wrote: > Sorry but I hav
