Hello,
that is my first post here (new in Linux at all)
I have the following problem. I've just install Kubuntu 11.04 but my screen dancing like in 15 Hz... I tried to install drivers offered by Additional Drivers wizard but after reboots the situation is the same. Please for some help about what to do. I'll also ask for correct command lines because I'm not so familiar with that yet.
Cheers

Greetings;
When you say that it's dancing about, could you elaborate?
Is the resolution correct?
What kind of monitor do you have?
Are you using nvidia-settings?
Failing that, please post your monitor make and model, and the contents of this file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
You should be able to browse to it from any text editor, whatever Kubuntu may use by default.

I thing this "dancing" is because of the frequency. I guess it's from driver.
Cause the PC is almost dead cant post any PrintScreans...
The monitor is Acer, AL1723
The resolution is 1280 x 1024 - and it looks good
I don't know if I'm using NVidia settings :(
The content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
thanks

Try this xorg.conf; you can edit the file via the GUI using:
gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
or from a CLI:
sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Here we go:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "ACER"
ModelName "AL1723"
HorizSync 30 - 65
VertRefresh 50 - 75
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "GeForce 6100"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
If that doesn't work, try:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "ACER"
ModelName "AL1723"
HorizSync 30 - 65
VertRefresh 50 - 75
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "GeForce 6100"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
