Guys (and gals)I do not use 64 bit and use gnome but I do have a nVidia video card
I'm still having problems that I posted about a few weeks ago when I
first installed ubuntu hardy heron, 64 bit.
I have this motherboard - an ECS 6100-pm-m2, and it has an embedded
Geforce 6100 nforce 430. Previously, I was using debian lenny, 32 bit,
and I had an nvidia FX 5200 AGP graphics card. 3d worked, compiz
almost worked, but I never had the problems I am having with the
169.12 nvidia driver.
Pretty much running anything 3d (compiz for instance) wrecks my
display in that icons start disappearing off the screen, my icons at
the bottom for instance (kicker, I use KDE) get deformed and go to
solid colors, and most of the text in windows get replaced with solid
black colors.
Someone on another list mentioned mesa, and I have these packages installed.
dfox@newbox:/usr/lib/nvidia$ dpkg -l | grep mesa

On the other hand, this is what I see for xlibmesa:
dfox@newbox:/usr/lib/nvidia$ locate mesa
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
/usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
/usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
And if I go into /usr/lib/nvidiia, I see:
fox@newbox:/usr/lib/nvidia$ ls -l
total 1068
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 519408 2008-04-05 15:05 libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-05-23 09:12 libGL.so.1.xlibmesa ->
libGL.so.1.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 547015 2008-04-15 10:56 libglx.so.xserver-xorg-core

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4920 2008-06-02 11:00 tls_test_dso.so
That first symlink appears to be broken, but doing an ldd against
offending applications shows no trace of xlibmesa being used.
i.e., ldd `which compiz.real` | grep mesa returns no output.
Things were passable (but still broken) using nvidia-glx, but I went
in and installed nvidia-glx-new and it's worse.
I've posted also in ubuntuforums but so far no responses.
I'm about to give up on this and go back to debian lenny but I figured
I'd ask again to see if anyone out there has this motherboard and can
compare notes.
Thanks.
on my motherboard. This can be a problem. And your looking for the full
capability of the nVidia card.
Suggest you go to the nVidia web page and get their latest bash file
for Ubuntu. You install that from the init 1 and it writes to the kernel
and gives you a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It might do just what your
looking for.
