that's strange then. Because for me after installing LinuxMint or either Ubuntu (right now) on my Notebook, it went well in the first try. For me it works really fine. Then you should really think about changing your graphiccard.
Mine is this one: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9200M G] (rev b1) And this one works fine for me. Then the next hint for you would be to install this ppa-repository here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grafikkarten/Nvidia/nvidia?highlight=ubuntu-x-swat Perhaps this could solve your problem. It could be possible, that your card is too new to be properly supported by the older versions of the nvidia-driver. This ppa-repository brings a newer one, which should work fine for you. Or if you have already installed it, then purge this ppa-repository and run these commands in your terminal sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Let these commands run through completely. Then afterwards, try to install the proprietary nvidia- driver. Tell me, if these hints help you with your problem. Greetings Linuxexperte Perhaps if you change your graphiccard??
