    Question No nvidia drivers after upgrade to Maverick

    Hey there,

    I recently upgraded to the Maverick RC that was promoted on the ubuntu.com front page by using the usual "update-manager -d" procedure.

    There must have went something wrong while installing (I think my harddrive messed up at some point and I had to restart the installation, whatever) because I now can only boot in safe graphics mode.

    I have a nvidia GeForce 5200

    According to the output, I lack of graphics drivers:

    Code:
    benjamin@desktop:~$ glxinfo
    name of display: :1.0
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
    
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    benjamin@desktop:~$ glxgears
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
    benjamin@desktop:~$
    Code:
    benjamin@desktop:~$ compiz --replace
    Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
    compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual
    compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
    compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :1.0
    
    Launching fallback window manager
    However, I have

    nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-common nvidia-settings

    installed.

    (nvidia-settings still talks about a xorg.conf. isnt that obsolete?)

    So, whats going wrong here?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Never mind. Not possible yet. Nouveau drivers work for 2D though.

    I have the same problem with compiz.
    I can't use the 3D effects, and when I'm lauching by hand compiz, I have this :
    Code:
    $ compiz --replace
    compiz (core) - Fatal: Software rendering detected.
    compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
    compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
    
    Launching fallback window manager
