Nvidia Envy install
Hi All, I recently managed to get Nvidia drivers working with a program called Envy. Up until then I was really struggling to get it working, anyway Envy got it going for me.
I am using Ubuntu 7.10 The trouble is now if I try to enhance my desktop effects through the System --> Preferences --> Appearence I get the message saying I need to enable the Nvidia driver?? Which of course in the restricted drivers bit? I am scared to enable it in case it screws with what Envy finally managed to do, 3D graphics :P anybody any ideas on what I should do.. Many thanks, deft. |
Always remember, just because its easy, doesn't mean its right. Envy, Automatix, EasyUbuntu, etc, are all bad ideas. Good luck, because when Envy causes a problem, you're gonna have a helluva time tracking down help to get it working.

Can you post your xorg.conf file so we can see which drivers are in use?
Not to dispute what's been said, or start a war, but I've read some great reviews and testimonials about Envy. However, anything can happen when using third-party software, especially to install system drivers- there are better ways. It would be most helpful to know what's actually being loaded at startup.
