I would suggest uninstalling, reinstalling, and checking the compatability of your card. |

8.10 Release Notes
Upgrading Users of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS can upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 by a convenient automated process. Users of older Ubuntu releases need to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS first, and then to 8.10. Complete instructions may be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading. nVidia "legacy" video support The 71 and 96 series of proprietary nVidia drivers, as provided by the nvidia-glx-legacy and nvidia-glx packages in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, are not compatible with the X.Org included in Ubuntu 8.10. Users with the nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4 chipsets are affected and will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. This driver does not support 3D acceleration. Users of other nVidia chipsets that are supported by the 173 or 177 driver series will be transitioned to the nvidia-glx-173 or nvidia-glx-177 package instead. However, unlike drivers 96 and 71, drivers 173 and 177 are only compatible with CPUs that support SSE (e.g. Intel Pentium III, AMD Athlon XP or higher). Systems with older CPUs will also be transitioned to the nv driver on upgrade. |

I think that the Nvidia-glx-71 drivers are no longer supported. I've tried using nvidia-settings, but it told me to use nvidia-xconfig, which doesn't exist on Kubuntu 9.04. I tried also to use the nvidia driver from their site, which didn't work any better. This card works better without the nvidia \ driver. |

I think I am using the vesa driver. Do you know how to switch to the nv driver? i want to see if that works better. I can only get to 1024 x768 resolution and refresh is auto (whatever that is). Thanks |
