I upgraded my gutsy installation to hardy and i ran into this bug. After editing /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common, the nvidia_new driver loads correctly.
DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia nvidia_legacy" I tried editing /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modules first, but to no success. A 'nvidia.ko' in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile is always preferred to a 'nvidia_new.ko'? -- X Server is crashing with "nvidia" driver on Geforce 8xxx series cards in Ubuntu Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
