I have the same problem in a fresh install of 11.04. My Gfx card is an Onboard Nvidia GeForce 6150 with 512 MB Ram.
I have tried enabling both the 173 version and the current (270.41.06), but Unity is not loading, and desktop effects are not available in Ubunty Classic. The first time i booted the newly installed OS I received a warning that my system hardware was not up to specs to run Unity. I then activated the Nvidia proprietary drivers, but to no luck. I even found somewhere where it was suggested that I reinstall the kernel using: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae but that changed nothing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772207 Title: version 173.14.30 is buggy for GeForce FX 5200 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
