Update: When I try using the nvidia driver now, X simply reports this line in the terminal after failing to start:
NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! It seems the "module missing or mismatch" error was alleviated by me executing: modprobe nvidia_new as root. However, I'm stumped at this point. I'll keep working at it and posting updates here. -- NVidia driver and kernel module driver mismatch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
