Comment 29 for bug 350776

Update: Only 180 is working. 173 FAIL!

> Ok, another weekend, another try, and still no joy. I disabled the CD
> option in the update manager. At least Jockey didn't crash this time.
> However, the only option in hardware drivers this time was for nv - which
> appeared to default to nv-173. Jockey looked for drivers but didn't even
> offer options for 173 much less 180. Attempting to enable effects failed
> after a search for drivers. So, once again I manually removed nv-180-glx,
> re-installed it and experienced the failure of X to start. Again,
> /dev/nvidia0 isn't recognized and so the 8800-GT card at PCI-1:0.0 fails to
> get initialized and X fails. Back to Vista, again. I'm sooo disappointed
> that this is taking more than 4 months to resolve as its just getting a
> graphics driver installed.
> Any suggestions or help is greatly appreaciated.
> I've been trying to get my nieces interested in Ubuntu but this is giving
> me caution in suggesting it to them. They're busy enough already and lack my
> patience.
