Hi,
I just installed ubuntu 9.04 32bit, I'm really having a hard time installing the driver for my 2 9800 GT .. These are the steps that I did.
My kernels: 2.6.28-11, 2.6.28-13, 2.6.28-15
1) downloaded and and installed both NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run.. (I stopped gdm before installing the driver). This steps failed so I had to uninstall.
2) Insalled from System>Administration>Hardware Drivers then activate. (Failed, then uninstalled from terminal then run the command apt-get autoremove)
3) Installed from Synaptic Package manager and selected nvidia-glx-173 (Failed, then uninstalled from terminal then run the command apt-get autoremove)
I really don't know what the problem is, I never had this problem before when I still had ubuntu 8.10 on my machine. And I'm getting frustrated everytime I get the same failing result, which is not being able to procceed to the desktop, just the terminal mode.
I hope there is anyone out there that can help me cuz I really like ubuntu rather than using Debian or OpenSuse..
Thanks.
Oh I think this is also a useful information, My xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
