same Problem here. If i install the nvidia-glx-new i have no X-Server. I tried to start X via "startx" manually, i got this: ... 67.995556] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 169.12, but [ 67.995560] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 96.43.05. Please [ 67.995562] NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver [ 67.995563] NVRM: components have the same version. ...
removing the nvidia-glx-new and installing the nvidia-glx worked for me, now i have direct rendering and even Desktop-Effects. But the better and faster driver is the nvidia-glx-new. I hope this helps Kubuntu 8.04 final - via dist-upgrade from 7.10 Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS -- Regression: nvidia-glx-new incompatible with Linux 2.6.24-16 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
