Reason: Coded
Can you show your "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file? You can check if this something change: delete this file (with backup if you created it by self) and reinstall nvidia driver.
I tryed it without, didnt work, and i tryed to install the driver again, didnt work too, i have to configure the screens. here is my output of xorg.conf:
Hey Cru-Z.
Do you have a special setup? Why don't you use the free drivers? Just rename your xorg.conf and restart Xserver.
Also why is nvidia-xconfig assigning PCI:0:2 although that is the on-board graphic ...?
So eSelix' xorg.conf should also have
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
in Section "Device".
Hey guys, i installed the new Ubuntu Saucy Salamander with the nvidia-325 driver and settings, i installed the libfb too and when i try to start the x session it appears an error:

13.10/'Saucy Salamander' is an alpha (pre-beta) stage. Not a good idea for people that dont know linux and/or ubuntu pretty well. Even then it might not be a good idea unless you like finding bugs.
Quote:
Pre-releases of Saucy Salamander are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage.
Since its an 'optimus' laptop, you'l might need the bumbleebee package installed before you try to install the nVidia drivers. I wouldnt be tryign that on 13.10, I'd go back to an earlier suported 'final' release (12.04, 13.04) or change distros.
So you mean i should install Ubuntu 13.04. And first Bumblebee and then the intel and nvidia driver?
First of all i will remove the nvidia driver, install bumblebee and then the nvidia driver again, i will report the resoults then.
