I am running Linux Mint 13, 64-bit Cinnamon version.
So I've been trying to get nvidia driver 295.59 running on my machine.
In terminal, I now get:
295.59 supports my card, okay, so I first had a lot of problems with X, it wouldn't boot in, finally would boot but 640 res, reinstalled X and then reinstalled the driver and now I'm here.Currently installed version: 295.59; latest available version: 310.32;
latest driver file:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li..._64-310.32.run.
I'm stuck in GNOME classic desktop environment and I normally have cinnamon, it won't boot into cinnamon and when I open X-server I get the following:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
Sudo nvidia-xconfig replies with this:
XF86Config reads:Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config".
Backed up file '/etc/X11/XF86Config' as '/etc/X11/XF86Config.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/XF86Config'
I want to get back to Cinnamon and run TF2, any help would be greatly appreciated.# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
