I got the NVidia driver working finallY.....Thanks!<br /><br />I got the NVidia driver working finallY...<br /><br />I noticed on the blog the text says: "options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=o NVreg_Mobile=o" with little "o" instead of zero. I knew that was wrong and put in zeros anyway. When I pasted the text, the zeros were correctly shown. Weird.<br /><br />Just thought I'd let you know!Kevin E.

Thank you so much for this guide... I c...Hey there! Thank you so much for this guide... I can't believe how much of a lifesaver it was! It has worked so far for me in Ubuntu 9.10, 10.10 (did not work in the 11.x series) and 12.04!!! <br /><br />With 12.04 you can upgrade to the latest nVidia 96.43.27 drivers from their site after you install and configure them this way. <br /><br />Now I'm going to try to get adventurous and do the following in 13.04 which will downgrade X.org from 1.13 back to 1.12: <br /><br />sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx<br />sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br />reboot<br /><br />Then install the latest nVidia drivers using the .run file!! WHOA! <br /><br />If you (blog poster) wanna try it as well, or anyone else does, post back here with the results! Viva la old laptops! <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295765506475520080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390394479786220424.post-32979446394601404162013-02-11T18:47:45.363-08:002013-02-11T18:47:45.363-08:00Ctrl+Alt+F4 was a lifesaver for me.

(mostly debian)<br /><br />i always have several systems running it turned on, performing various server tasks but you'll find my nice "normal use" PC with the overclocked Phenom II X4 955 black running Windows 7. it's just less of a pain in the ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
