I have the problem where the Nvidia driver will not load and a get low-
res screens only.
I had high res-screens and they vanished as I was working last week
The xorg.log contains crap like above, BTW why don't the designers of this blog
collapse long attachments into GUI tabs rather than forcing us to scroll through
all that crap? This is especially true when the kernel broke your high-res
screens :-)
I got:
$ sudo depmod -a
[sudo] password for brucesalem:
brucesalem:~ 01:33:01
$ sudo modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
Linux brucesalem-desktop 2.6.27-17-server #1 SMP Fri Mar 12 02:48:52 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux
This problem occured for me on both Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.10 on the same
system.
I cannot use nvidia-xconfig or the screen resolution GUI.
pcimodules sees the module.
$ more *pci*

I got high res from Windows Vista and from Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD.
Reading the related bug where changes will not be made to restricted modules
it sounds like the card has become unsppported hardware. If so, I'll head for
the
exit and uninstall Ubuntu. Until that fateful decision, any useful help would be
apprecated.
