HowTo: NViDIA 185.18 Drivers in Ubuntu

**Ajat** · August 25th, 2009

Actually the problem emerged after i uninstall libgl1-mesa-glx (which remove my KDE 4.4.3 rc), then i update the kernel and installing KDE 4.4.3(new version), after that the problem emerged. i also have reinstalled libgl1-mesa-glx, but didn't fix the problem..

here is the bug report.

Hmm... doesn't appear to be any fault at bay there, other than X just decided to drop off at the last moment.

Try a fresh reinstallation:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo nvidia-uninstall
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-all
sudo sh /usr/src/nvidia-driver

Go through the installation, then run:

Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

after, then

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

To start the server again.

Thanks a lot. I tried following your steps for most of the parts and I think the installation was smooth until the last step. However after installation, my nvidia loads in high resolution mode, and I want to make it change to 1024*768. I can go into the NVIDIA X Server Settings and Apply the Resolution. But it says that it can't save the settings to the xorg.conf because the xorg conf backup cannot be removed.

How can I set my default resolution to 1024*768 ?

Press Alt+F2 on your keyboard, and type in:

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in the "run command" box.

Then scroll down the file to the 'Section "Screen"' section, and put in the following in bold:

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Many thanks for your directions, followed them to setup a fresh install of Jaunty with a nVidia 6200 LE

things are just about there, I keep running into the aforementioned EEID bug where it is unable to detect the EEID of Monitor0

tinkering around I've gotten so that I can get Monitor0 to render in any resolution except! 1280x1024 which is annoying since I am using 2 17" Gateway LCD monitors which work best when at the same resolution (you guessed which)

My xorg.conf looks like:

Code:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "CRT-0"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 55.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
    ModeLine       "1280x1024@72" 147.56 1280 1312 1872 1904 1024 1044 1056 1076
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor1"
    VendorName     "Gateway"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    ModeLine       "1280x1024@72" 147.56 1280 1312 1872 1904 1024 1044 1056 1076
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce 6200 A-LE"
EndSection

Section "Screen"

# Removed Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: 1280x1024 +1280+0, CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
# Removed Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: 1280x1024 +1280+0, CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "1"
    Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-1"
    Option         "metamodes" "CRT-0: 1280x1024 +1280+0, CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

as you can see I've tried to manually set this resolution a couple times, each time when it goes to load it will shut off that monitor
I then load the nvidia xserver config and switch it to 1152x864 or 1024x768 or any lower resolution and good to go,
it detects that it will run at 1360x768 but when I set that it displays 1024x768 and leaves the rest offscreen

and I am attaching my bug report,

if you can come up with any fresh ideas I'd be happy to experiment - bought this video card just so I could use Ubuntu with dual screens...

Try these new settings. I've emboldened the changes.

And let us know of any changes/your new Xorg.0.log file output.

Added your changes, now neither monitor is detecting an EDID

when I try to boot to 1280x1024 for both it kicks out Xorg.conf and boots to default settings 1024x768 with left & right in default locations

Updated Xorg.0.log

Again a minor tweak to see what happens.

This time, Xorg will forcibly try to run in 1280x1024 resolution mode. If it fails, we'll get an error reason why.

**amites** · August 31st, 2009

didn't do much with Xorg today, trying to get a site launched for beta (been fun)

I did read through the log and see that it is back to the same issue, it cannot detect the EEID of either monitor with the new options in place, and thus kicks out the 1280x1024 setting and loads the nvidia defaults

would be nice if 1280x1024 was a default setting available (standard settings that are higher are?)

any other ideas?
