I'm running Ubuntu 8.10. My video card is a GE Force 6200 Turbo Cache. I had a world of trouble getting the video card to work as noted in this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=priswell

I tried installing the drivers direct from nVidia, I tried using the Ubuntu drivers under Restricted drivers more than once. Then one day, I did a simple update, and automagically, the video drivers worked! I moved into the computer and started working. Yesterday, I did another update and now my drivers don't work again. I noted that they had been deactivated as part of the update procedure, and so I reactivated them, but no good. Under System > Preferences > nVidia X Server Settings, it shows my monitor as "Unknown" and under Screen Resolution it shows 1280 x 1040 (Monitor is capable of 1680 x 1050.

I'm really bamboozled. Can someone help?
