Hmmm, your drivers should install automatically if you have the headers installed. Try:

sudo dkms autoinstall

report results...

Here's the result

It looks to me as if the install of 4.2.5 went wrong. Not all wrong, but something messed up


BTW, switched computer to a viewsonic 27" monitor. Brighter than the 24" It's still at 1280x1024 though

Yeah, I agree. Seems to be a kernel issue.

This may be par of the issue:

Consult /var/lib/dkms/bbswitch/0.7/build/make.log for more information.

You might want to remove this package and try dkms autoinstall again.|


The package is bbswitch-dkms

Don't just love (hate) the problems I bring up?

[oshunluvr]

Yeah, you're not going to get that kernel working right now. The only other things I can suggest are go back to an earlier kernel or add the xorg-edgers ppa and try ndivia-355

Went back to 3.14 and 3.13 Neither worked. Made a backup. Will reinstall. This time, will make a clonezilla image and put it on the external as well

[vsreeser]

Backed up, reinstalled. Now everything works fine
