8400 GS, 8.04, Fails to Initialize GLX

[nl2br]

Hello Community, I'm an Ubuntu user since 5.10, and I ever solved my problems with Graphic Cards.

I have this box:

ASUS M2N-X Plus
AMD Athlon 4400+ X2
1x 1GB DDR 800
and.. my video card 8400 GS.

Well, i usually solve this kind of problems by myself, but today i have to ask you guys.

I've tried installing from a fresh install EnvyNG, both manually and automatically, individually the .run from the nvidia website (169.12 and the beta 173...) and i can't get GLX working.

Here's my EE in Xorg log file. *Yes, i have set up nvidia instead of vesa,nv*

(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

I don't know if this is a bug or just something i missed up. This is not the first card i install, so thats the reason why i post my problems here.

Sorry if this post has already been posted, i searched google and I didn't find anything.

Thank You very much.

Someone? I'm tired of trying :(

If you haven't solved it yet, here is what I am doing right now....

I installed CLI only. Then added X, then added ubuntu desktop, then downloaded the nVidia driver in that order. Then I booted and configured the system. That seems to have fixed the driver issue.

Maybe deleting xorg.conf and starting with the nVidia driver will do the trick.

scratch that. I rebooted.... My mistake. Now I have nothing again. Mind you it worked before....
