I installed the fix from zesty, and it loads into the kernal fine, and I can set the resolution that I want.
However... Since before now I could not get nvidia-304 to work, I had been using nouveau. I had been able to start the panorama program Hugin, but when I tried to open the images to stitch together, the graphics driver nouveau crashed and I had to do a hard-shutdown. Now that I have a working nvidia-304, Hugin crashes with some sort of a x-window error when it tries to start up. " The program 'hugin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 541 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 24) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) " I don't know if it is the mere presence of nvidia-304, or THIS PARTICULAR nvidia-304. I don't know if it is the FIX that caused it, or something else. I can see that the version of nvidia-304 that I had been using under Lubuntu 16.04 (and which I used with Hugin with no problem) was 304.131xxx instead of .132. >From this output, can anyone say if it is a bug in nvidia-304, or Hugin that >is the problem? Say... I see that there is a .131 for Xenial Xerus. at the same site I got the fixed .132 ... Does anyone think there is likely to be a problem if I try to load that version of nvidia-304? I am inclined to try it... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634802 Title: Could not insert module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1634802/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
