supplied driver has poor performance on newer card
i have downloaded the latest current graphics driver from nvidia
i get a script
OK, i chmod it to executable
I sudo and run it
It says i need to stop X
Not a problem,
sudo stop gdm
Oh dear, it doesn't stop it - the desktop shuts down to a console window, which then hangs. I think there is something else still running ...
Stopping x doesn't seem to work either
I thought you could press alt and f-keys to boot a 2nd user console?
That doesn't work either
So having trouble stopping gdm and/or with the driver
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Thanks !
