This problem is affecting me too. I have tried: * installing the PPA ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates-maverick (results in Hash Sum Mismatch when trying to install nvidia driver) * following suggestions from #36 to downgrade back to Lucid. * installing driver from maverick-proposed (apt-get install nvidia-current/maverick-proposed => E: Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers-96) * installing proprietary driver directly from Nvidia site.
I've been at it all afternoon reading this and other threads and trying suggestions and nothing has worked. Does anybody have a fix for this? A side-question. How do I know which driver I need for my chipset. lspci says I have NVidia NV44A [GeForce 6200]. Does that need the 96 or 170 driver or something else? I don't even know what those numbers mean. I assume that they must correspond to chipsets. I've been to the nvidia site but don't know what to look for. I wish there was a clear set of instructions somewhere. Alternately, someone please tell me what kind of card I need to upgrade to for which there are good drivers in Maverick. I'd gladly pay a few extra bucks to have a working system again because I depend on it for my work. What a mess this has been for me and for others! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 Title: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
