Title:
The quantal version of nvidia-settings doesn't support legacy nvidia
driver (173) and tends to be backported to Precise 12.04.3
Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I tried to configure my display using the nvidia-settings package from
Quantal repository, I meet the error message: "The NVIDIA X driver on (...) is
not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.". It
makes sense, because I'm using the legacy nvidia-173 driver. My non-elegant
soluction was install the nvidia-settings from Precise repository, that solved
the problem.
Being more precise:
$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii nvidia-173 173.14.36-0ubuntu0.1
i386
ii nvidia-settings 304.51-0ubuntu2
i386
DIDN'T WORKS
but
$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii nvidia-173 173.14.36-0ubuntu0.1
i386
ii nvidia-settings 295.33-0ubuntu1
i386
WORKS
There is no package that the name is something like nvidia-
settings-173 available in Quantal repository, but it's required to
configure properly a old Nvidia device.
