EzNet: I've noted some differences between your config and mine.
1) The file nvidia-kernel-nck: - You use the 169.12 driver, so it os the nvidia-new driver, it must be specified correctly. - You must tell the driver it is a mobile card, if not the PerfLevelSrc may not work. - So you must have these lines (and I only have these two, not three like you): alias char-major-195* nvidia options nvidia_new NVreg_Mobile=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" 2) The location of nvidia-kernel-nck: - You may have (like me) two versions of this file. One in /etc/modprobe.d/ and another in /etc/modutils/ - The file in /etc/modprobe.d must be the one that applies when the driver is loaded and is the file we talk about. - The file in /etc/modutils/ must contain only next line: alias char-major-195 nvidia 3) Your xorg.conf file is a bit strange: - It contains 2 "Device" sections, it is not needed the first one. - You have two screens configured, but both TwinView and Xinerama deactivated. - The best solution I've found to work with 2 screens at a time is using TwinView, and configure only 1 screen, then when I start a session and the second monitor is detected, if the driver sets incorrectly the resolution then I use the nvidia-settings application to change resolutions and so on. - NEVER use the screen resolution shipped with Ubuntu with an Nvidia card! It breaks the xorg.conf easily. - This is my "Screen" section, for reference: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "NoLogo" "True" Option "DynamicTwinView" "True" Option "RenderAccel" "True" Option "TwinView" "True" Option "MetaModes" "nvidia-auto-select, nvidia-auto-select" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP,CRT" Option "NvAGP" "1" Option "Coolbits" "1" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection - Things to note: * Using NvAGP instead of AGPGart, but it is a personal preference. * Enabling Twinview I hope this info can help you a bit. -- Occasional screen-wide "blink" when using opengl apps (compiz also) and Nvidia cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164589 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
