Hi Friends,

I'm trying to install Nvidia graphic drivers. I'm not satisfied with performance of the Nvidia repository drivers the performance is so slow compared official drivers. So i downloaded graphic drivers from Nvidia official web site. But ctrl+alt+f1-f6 not working. Only mouse pointer is disappearing. when i press f7 it's reappearing again. What should i do to make it work.

Thanks.

Which version are you using? I'm in Xubuntu 10.10 and Ctrl+Alt+F1 took me right to tty login. Just tried it to be sure. Should work in KDE and Gnome. Do you have a laptop and need the Fn key as well?
