Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

And thank you Temüjin for assuming the maintenance of the script (I love watching it do it's magic)... It would be very helpful to others, if someone...

First of all, I'd like to thank pqwoerituytrueiwoq and bogan for all of your guys help - I know I couldn't have gotten this far without you saints.

So thanks to you guys filling my head with a...

Thank you very much bogan.

I did a search for nvidia-xconfig and it is not on my system.

It's getting late right now, so I'm going to do some more research tomorrow and I will get back to you....

The result of Xorg -configure is:

Fatal server error :
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"1920x1080

I also blacklisted nvidiafb and lbm-nouveau...

Its an MSI GTS 450. It satisfied my desire for a low power consumption at idle.

Thanks, yet again.

Yeah, that was done a couple of nights ago.

Yeah, I had the same thought, so I have, about three or four times for good measure.](*,)

The thing for me, is that I get the same result with the...

I hear ya. I am going to incorporate that very soon. I also noticed that you've removed splash quiet. What does that do?

That's what I thought.

I have never seen my conky tell me that I'm using...

Wow. My grub.cfg's boot command is very different!

Did you set the res and does that only affect the boot, or is that a system wide parameter?

Here's what mine looks like:


menuentry...

That's what I've done also, with the exception of setting the res, as I can get no such option.

I'd have responded earlier, but I didn't know what to make of the information in that last section....

I just did a complete removal of both the nvidia-current & nvidia-settings, rebooted, reinstalled both via synaptic and then rebooted to the exact same situation, including the sudo nvida-xconfig...

What do you mean by reconfigure via synaptic?

Kirby

Nope!

I think I live on some kind of strange vortex or something. Somehow, on the last three machines I've run Ubuntu on over the last two and a half years, I've run into an issue or two on each...

Yeah, that's the repo that I'm using.

I just finished purging everything again, then blacklisted the following:

blacklist fglrx
blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveaub...

I'm not sure that will help. I just tried the Ubuntu 10.04.1 live cd (the same cd I installed this system with) and the result is the same over there: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this...

The card in question, is an MSI gts 450, which I'm pretty sure came out before Lucid. I'll try the Lucid live cd and see if it's recognized over there.

The one problem I have with installing the...

So, it dawned on me that it may paint a better picture of what I'm talking about, when I say that my nvidia-settings is lacking options, so I've attached a picture of what it looks like.

Edit: I...

Thanks so much for the response mastablasta.



I was very optimistic that the commands given in that last link would finally address the problem, as that appeared to do a more thorough job of...

Thanks so much for all your help pqwoerituytrueiwoq.
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, but life always has to get in the way of the things that are really important!:P



The...

Okay, so I didn't think I needed to do this, but when I ran the command, it appeared as though it wasn't installed, but even after rebooting, the result is exactly the same - no options for changing...

How and/or where do you put nomodeset?

Thanks again.
Kirby

Thanks for the response.

How exactly does a person generate a new xorg.conf file?

Thanks again.
Kirby

Thanks for the response.

I did absolutely nothing and now, I am completely stumped!

Kirby

Well, the following worked... Somewhat.
The driver is installed, but the hardware jockey will not allow me to activate it (see log at the bottom) and when I try to set the monitor resolution (via...

Thanks. I thought I knew a long time ago, but it turns out I had no idea.

Thanks
