Hey All,
I am in need of some clarification. I could at this point have about 10 ppa's in my sources.list if I just took the advice from Google searches.
I always install my nvidia drivers from the command line and usually tend to install the latest beta drivers. I am confused at to the libs that should be installed or should not be installed with a particular beta driver or any driver for that matter.
right now I have 195.22 installed but if I grep nvidia I have libs like this
xbmc@xbmc:~$ dpkg -l|grep nvidia
ii libvdpau1 0.3-2ubuntu1~nvidiavdpauppa4
Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (
ii libxine1-bin 1.1.16.3-vdpau-0ubuntu2~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa1
the xine video/media player library, binary
ii nvidia-173-modaliases 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu5.1
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-177-modaliases 177.82-0ubuntu0.1
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-180-libvdpau 180.37-0ubuntu1~intrepid2
Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix
ii nvidia-180-modaliases 180.37-0ubuntu1~intrepid2
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-185-modaliases 185.18.36-0ubuntu10~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-190-modaliases 190.53-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa7
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-195-modaliases 195.30-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa1
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-71-modaliases 71.86.04-0ubuntu10
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-96-modaliases 96.43.09-0ubuntu1.1
Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive
ii nvidia-common 0.2.4.2
Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers
I am in the 190 series drivers, testing between 190.42-pkg1.run and 195.22-pkg1.run.
What files should I have and which file should not be there.
thanks and sorry for the long post, I spent most of yeaterday searching for some sort of answer. Hopefully JYA can chime in on this.
both of my Front end systems are A P5N7A-VM - C2D 7400 - 2Gb 800 - Nvidia 9400 - HDMI
Regards,
Dave
