    Woohoo! New nVidia packages.

    Since nvidia-glx-new didn't originally work for me w/my 9600GT (that had worked fine in Hardy), I've been using nVidia's 177 drivers (+the Xen patch).

    Well, it looks like we now have a nvidia-glx-177 package!

    I'll give it a shot tomorrow - have long copies going for now.
    Specs:  Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (@3Ghz), G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1066, ASUS Striker II Formula MB, Asus EN9800GTX+ Dark Knight, ABS Tagan BZ800 PS, Antec 900 Case.

    Had a little problem (http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthrea...=851521&page=5), but it appears to have been specific to my system.

    The new packages work!

      Re: Woohoo! New nVidia packages.

      I had some problems also. Installed the alpha a few days ago, just to watch it grow. It installed and ran fine. I boot into it every couple of days to run updates and play with it. After the updates a couple of days ago, I have not booted into II alpha until this morning. This morning it would not boot. I restarted and selected the previous kernel and it got a little further but no display. Hung up with the small "clock" icon and would not respond to any commands. I immediately suspected a corrupt xorg.conf file, because everything seemed to work up until the time it tried to start the login screen. So I logged in at the system prompt, and ran startx, to see what the problem was. It complained that there was no nvidia driver found. So I ran at-get install nvidia-glx-177 (I have a Gforce Turbocache 6200) and it installed. I also ran update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade before restarting. Restart was successful. Don't know how it "lost" the driver. Running an alpha is always fun

        I got mine working too, last night, with the downloaded 173.14.12 driver. Finally!


        I assume you guys are aware of these:

          Interesting reading, most of which is way over my head. I am not having any problems that I know of, I really haven't played with Intrepid enough to be able to comment. Everything is working great in HH on the same computer. I'll boot back into Intrepid later today and see if I have ant video performance issues.
