Re: No 3D for nvidia GeForce 7025
Hi!, docaltmed,
There have been problems with the 295.40 driver with GeForce 7xxx & 8xxx series nvidia video cards, acknowledged by NVIDIA, since APRIL 12th.
For some, version 295.33 or 295.20 have proved a cure, or at least an improvement, partly dependant on whether a slow-down or hang-up crashes are the symptoms.
Others have had to regress to 290.10.
If you run:
Code:
sudo nvidia-installer --latest
from a text terminal; ie. boot to a tty, or first run:
Code:
sudo service lightdm stop
from a GUI terminal, it will tell you what version will be installed with:
Code:
sudo nvidia-installer -f
Then reboot: which also uninstalls the existing version which is essential to do if you use a different method.
Currenly, although 295.40 is the latest offered, the above will actually offer and install 295.33.
Chao!, bogan.
