NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.09 on Feisty fawn

[pfff]

Hello

I've just re-installed my Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn and try the new NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.09 ...

But i can't start it, i have a problem with the nvidia kernel module ...

Is someone could help me ?

Many thx

In you xorg.conf file you have selected the 'nv' driver instead of 'nvidia' which is the correct one.

[zbiggy]

It looks you have Nvidia driver 1.0-7184/100.14.09 mixed together. If replacing nv to nvidia inside xorg.conf will not help; remove the older 7184 which is too old for your card and reinstall 100.14.09 and reboot.

1st many thx to help me.

I have never installed 1.0-7184 , i've just installed my Ubuntu Feisty Fawn ...

How can i remove it ?

The popular distros are using their own mechanisms for driver install these days. This makes sense since (I presume) it's virtually impossible for Nvidia to keep up with all the nuances with each distro. For Debian, Ubuntu and Mint the installer is ENVY. Suggest you try it. As of yesterday it supports 100.14.09.

pfff,
You stated "result is the same ... my computer is locking up". Originally you didn't report anything about a computer locking up, and your bug report indicated a driver/kernel module mismatch. In your latest bug report, X is running 1280x1024, so the original problem is no longer present. I'm confused as to how the result is the same.

Please detail the problem & how it can be reproduced.

[zbiggy]

Make fresh nvidia-bug-report.log and view it with your favorite text editor.
Search for 7184 text to make sure you deleted all old driver files.

If inside nvidia-bug-report.log you still find 7184 text this means the old driver is still inside system. Usually package manager allows to remove Nvidia driver. If you have an uninstall tool look for packages with NVIDIA name. They usually has NVIDIA-glx NVIDIA-driver or something like that. Then check version of such package and uninstall it if this is 7184.

Look at ENVY tool maybe there is any way to deactivate old Nvidia driver.

Hello Netilama,

Many thx for helping me.

I forgot to speak about my locking up because ...

I spoke in these threads about them :

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...5&postcount=25
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...5&postcount=28

I tryed all drivers (nvidia.run, nvidia-glx-new from Ubuntu's repository and envy)

i will check zbiggy's idea and revert.
