** Summary changed: - restricted drivers manager installs wrong driver for nx7300gt + restricted drivers manager should install by default nvidia-glx-new to nx7300gt
** Description changed: I've recently upgraded to the new kernel image 2.6.20-16.31 (from 2.6.20-16.29 I think) and gnome wouldn't start with the nvidia driver. I used the "nv" driver to start Gnome, removed and installed over the drivers through the restricted drivers manager (I actually just checked the "in use" check box, it removed and installed nvidia-glx). I've noticed that restricted drivers manager installs nvidia-glx and not nvidia-glx-new, hence produces this error in the logs while booting up: Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449076] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 1.0-9631, but Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449078] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 1.0-9755. Please Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449079] NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449080] NVRM: components have the same version. I had to "apt-get remove nvidia-glx" and "apt-get install nvidia-glx- new" to fix it. Shouldn't it have done that in the first place? Oh one more question, the nvidia-glx-new has a version 1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-16.29, shouldn't that be 1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-16.31 to match the new kernel image? + + edit: In short, please check if nvidia-glx-new is installed by default + for this pci-express graphics card.
