Because that would've given you a chance to recover the original xorg.conf which in theory should take you back to the way it was before you attempted the driver install.
Assuming that you backed up xorg.conf to begin with and that the default ubuntu installation did get you to X...
Edit: Glad it all worked out for you in the end Kwid21
Its very important that u comment out the "Load "dri"" lineby placing a "#" before it. if u dont do that, xserver will crash when u try to restart it.Originally Posted by tseliot
Thanks for the HOWTO though.
Thanks for the correction, I'll fix it.Originally Posted by arnieboy
I had made a mess with the colours (which I forgot to use in that case) but now it's fixed. Sorry for the mess, guys.
Hi guys, I've just noticed my HOWTO has only 1 vote and it's a bad rating.
This guide has worked for a few people so could I know the reason for such a LOW rate?
I would like an answer, some constructive criticism will be accepted. And in conclusion if you are having a problems using my guide, please tell me. We can make it better together!
And if you like it as it is, PLEASE VOTE.
I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.10-5-686 and can't install these nvidia drivers.
says that there are no kernel sources although i aot-geted linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686 and linux-headers-2.6.10-5.Code:sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run
Thanks for your help.

Does it also complain about GCC and kernel modules?Originally Posted by izmaelis
EDIT: can you post the output of the error (look at /ver/log you will find a nvidia log file)
