Help! I am trying to get Kubuntu 9.04 running with hardware acceleration, and it just isn't working. I have two EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS graphics boards, and I am trying to set up a multiseat computer. I know that the nVidia drivers are the ones I need, I had Gentoo linux on the same computer and I used the nVidia drivers without any problems.
Here's what I've tried so far:
logging in, and using KDE's hardware drivers application to install both of the drivers it came up with.
installing nvidia-glx-180.
banging my head on the desk(that didn't work either)
I also tried downloading the driver from nVidia, and that one didn't work either.
All that happens with any of these, when I try to boot, I don't get to a graphical login, and if I don't switch tty's I don't get to a terminal login either. I posted a detailed explanation of my problem here. I have absolutely no idea where to go from here.
i am trying to get nvidia drivers (180) to work.
i set up a thread about it here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1164310
basically my problem is this:
i get the pkg from nvidia site, then stop X with
then chmod +x to the pkg, and run it withCode:sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
Installation goes fine, i say no to the 32bit OPENGL stuff because i have x64 obviously.Code:sudo sh NVIDIA...etc etc
Upon restarting gdm everything seems fine (the first good sign is the annoying GPU fan finally stops) then i get the NVIDIA screen, and a correct resolution login screen.
Everything would appear it is as it should be, but as soon as i try to restart it cant load X (Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode... cannot determine screen video card etc, dont rememebr exactly what it says).
So I am having to do the above steps again, overwriting the previous driver and the xorg.conf file. I had a look at the file but I cant make much of it.
Does anyone know why this could be happening? I mean i load X fine the first time, so why should it be any different when i reboot?..
I installed today the NEWEST nvidia driver with this video tut and its the 64bit vers
this might help you

Make sure to remove linux-restricted-modules from Synaptic. Also install x32 open GL support, some apps which are x32 and ported to x64 will need them. A good way to install is described here at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 and Kosimo's excellent tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978
I am having this problem. It says my graphics card has been unplugged and must check my connectors or something. It's obviously not the case as I run in windows XP fine. I'm using 32bit ubuntu 9.04 and have tried both 180 nvidia drivers and the newest 185 drivers. I use a 7950 GTQuote:

This is by design after uninstalling the old driver, otherwise you'd be
looking at a blank moniter, and be unable to install your new driver.
Vista's default driver will upgrade/go away when you perform the new
installation
i cant access any tty's so this is no help :(Quote:
ctl-alt-f1 (so as to get to the command line, not a windowed terminal, but out of the graphical interface GUI)
