nVIDIA new Graphics Drivers
 

Hello,i have a geforce 105m on an acer 5738g.im a newbie and just started with jaunty.
Since thers only a beta available, i downloaded the 185.18.14 driver from the nvidia site which other users have reported to be operational for my card.however i had previously installed the 180... driver.i then removed it during installation of the new driver.but it seems that the x kernel is using the old driver.how do i resolve this mismatch.

You might try this. Download the nVidia installer for your card. Then...

/usr/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1/nvidia-installer --x-module-path="/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

...of course, the version numbers should match : )

The old modules might be loaded but the path be right.
(Tho I'm not sure if X would start if this was the case.)

You could always upgrade to the latest Karmic development version. The 185.18.36 driver is available in the Unbuntu repositories

Thanks everyone,tried ur suggestions but they didnt work.Could anyone tell me how to completely erase the nvidia drivers and kernel, then i could try installing the driver afresh,
Thanks
