So it seems like people are able to get the nvidia drivers to work but I've haven't been able to. I have a Geforce 7800 which is supported by both the 177 and 173 drivers to the best of my knowledge. I'd read a couple of other people's solutions to the driver issues they'd had including purging nvidia-glx-177 and nvidia-177-kernel and then reinstalling. But no dice.
Tried just clicking on the restricted driver manager window for both drivers, purging in between. No good.
If I uninstall everything and remove the xorg.conf I am able to boot with the Mesa driver. It just seemed like people were having success with video cards similar and I am curious what the solution is. Thank you for any time you spend.
