    Latest official stable NVIDIA driver.

    This fixed my ugly Plymouth splash.

    The official – stable nVIDIA graphics driver release 270.41.19 can now be installed in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and daily builds of 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot via PPA. This driver release has been added into X Updates PPA for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty and Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric few days before.
    There has been numerous bug fixes and stability enhancements for Linux environments. The major fixes are listed below :

    • Fixed a bug in the VDPAU presentation queue that could cause 1 second hangs when transitioning from blit-based display to overlay- based display. This would most commonly happen when disabling a compositing manager.
    • Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when capturing SDI video.
    • Fixed a corner-case in which the OpenGL driver could leak resources in applications utilizing fork().
    • Addressed a Linux kernel interface compatibility problem that could lead to ioremap() errors and, potentially, functional and/or stability problems.
    • Fixed a bug that caused SLI initialization to fail on some Intel based systems.
    • Fixed a bug that caused SLI initialization to fail when using recent Linux kernels, such as 2.6.38.

    To install nVIDIA Display Driver release 270.41.19 in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty or 11.10 Oneiric, open Terminal and run :
    Code:
    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
    After the installation restart the system to enable the driver.

    Damn! I installed this new driver and, for some reason, my window decorations went all goofy. This is on a Natty system that I just fresh installed, Saturday!

    Re: Latest official stable NVIDIA driver.

    Hi!, diwanescu,

    jwcalla Posted:
    Don't use version 173, that's ancient. Use version-current.
    Provided the version you have is 173.14-36, it is not ancient at all; it is dated 4 Oct 2012 and is updated for the latest Xorg-server.

    It is the correct driver for your card.

    None the less, for the Quadro FX 570M, Nvidia also recommend the 304.51 and 304.64, the first of which should be available for 12.04 from the x-swat ppa, if not from Additional Drivers or Synaptic.

    The Quadro FX 570M is listed as a supported product for the 304.51.

    Edit: I just checked Synaptic in my 12.04, and 304.51 is listed as 'nvidia-current', if you install it, you should also get 'nvidia-settings', it is also v304.51.

    It is also advisable to purge the old driver and remove or rename the Xorg.conf file.

    Chao!, bogan.

    To install nVIDIA Display Driver release 270.41.19 in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty or 11.10 Oneiric, open Terminal and run :
    Code:
    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
    After the installation restart the system to enable the driver.
    I have Nvidia GeForce 9300m GS 512mb in my Dell Inspiron laptop.

    I did the above commands and restarted. I just want to ask why, when I checked "Additional Drivers" and highlighted the "Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (current version) (recommended)", it says below "Activated but not currently in use". Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but why does it say "not in use"? Isn't the graphics card always in use when the laptop is on?

    I attached a screenshot of the message window.

    It is in use if you can see Unity. It's a known bug and mentioned earlier in the thread.
