Hi folks,

I've just installed the brand new Ubuntu 11.04 and all goes well until...I log in a session. There is a window telling me that my graphic card isn't too good to run Unity, when i have no problem under 10.10 to run all the eye-candy. Now i have a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M with 512 megs of memory. I've install the NVIDIA current driver in the Additional Drivers application and reboot. But nothing...in the additional driver app it says that the current driver is installed but not currently in use...what should i do before giving up and install unity-2d?

Yes, many people have this problem too. Just look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743393 , here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743898 or here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742194 . Or just put it in Google and you get the idea. I have this problem too (GeForce Go 7300). Thing is, it is not solved yet. What I read on the net, in Alpha there was a problem with the proprietary nvidia driver being incompatible with xserver (or something like that). Downgrading the xserver was suggested as a fix, but later it was announced that nvidia fixed it by proving compatible driver. I haven't tried to downgrade the xserver yet, but maybe I'll give it a try.
