Thread: NVIDIA drivers installed, but nomodeset still necessary


hi,

installed ubuntu 12.04 lts (64 bit) on pc following specs:

nvidia geforce 570 gtx
intel core i5 2500k @ 3.30 ghz
8 gb ddr3 ram @ 667 mhz

installed latest nvidia drivers downloading them official site, because other drivers application didn't find anything. installed them booting root shell recovery mode .run file.

tried out 'glxgears' , it's reporting fps on 5 seconds of 17000, looks me graphics card installed itself. display 1920x1080 , seems have no trouble running @ resolution until...

disable `nomodeset` boot option. when that, nouveau kicks in , reports i2c errors or scrambled purple screen. cause of that?

hi!, overv,

have blacklisted 'nouveau'? in theory, running nvidia....run file so, not successfully.

version downloaded 295.49 ? , 32 or 64 bit version??
code:
cat /sys/module/nvidia/version
confirm installed.

running 12.04 lts on not high spec machine, gt 7650 video card, glxgears gives me 2,500 -6000 frames depending on how log in. yours doing pretty well.

need use 'nomodset' more controlled video card/monitor combination single issue.

chao!, bogan.
