  12. [ubuntu] Re: How to have both nvidia propitiatory drivers, and intel drivers at the same time?

    but i already did that, removing the xorg.conf file and the noveau blacklist technically should revert the system back to normal. are you saying otherwise?


    also, with liveCDs, intel compiz...

  15. [ubuntu] Re: How to have both nvidia propitiatory drivers, and intel drivers at the same time?

    my concern is specifically how to get intel gfx working again.



    as for the brightness issue, i fixed it with a custom xorg.conf

    [all variants] Re: RAM - 8Gb or 4Gb

    If you are getting consumer grade ram (not gaming grade) then it all amounts to the same speed due to CAS latency (in short, the speed of which data moves through the ram)

  18. [ubuntu] Re: How to have both nvidia propitiatory drivers, and intel drivers at the same time?

  20. [ubuntu] Re: How to have both nvidia propitiatory drivers, and intel drivers at the same time?

  23. [ubuntu] Re: How to have both nvidia propitiatory drivers, and intel drivers at the same time?

  25. [ubuntu] How to have both nvidia propitiatory drivers, and intel drivers at the same time?

    It has come to my understanding that ubuntu 10.10 uses noveau drivers, and they are not compatible with the propiatary nvidia drivers without screwing around with your system.
