So I've reinstalled the PC I was talking about in my first comment. I installed nvidia-glx-legacy, and this time I made sure of where to find the backup xorg.conf which "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" writes. I restarted, being sure that this time it would work because nvidia-glx- legacy was the correct choice for a GeForce 2 MX. However, when I restarted I was kicked to the command prompt after starting up Kubuntu 6.10 and X wouldn't start. I restored the backup of xorg.conf and everything as fine, but I want the driver to work. I need it because I have a vertical black bar on the left side of the visible area of the monitor. I've experienced this on more than one occassion when I installed Linux distro's, and installing the drivers would fix the black area on the visible area of the monitor.
I've included the backupped xorg.conf, and the xorg.conf after doing "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable". ** Attachment added: "working backup of xorg.conf" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5347250/backup_xorg.conf -- package description of nvidia-glx(-legacy) is misleading, both drivers not working https://launchpad.net/bugs/70092 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
