Restricted Manager pushes wrong driver

What other information would be helpful to you?
Please give me specific steps to gain logs / settings / etc.

Thanx!

I'd like to confirm this bug. I've got an nVidia NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] installed. This is what 'lspci' tells me, and it is correct. Gutsy detects the card and monitor properly, but Restricted Manager is pushing the 'Nvidia-glx-new' driver to me, which does NOT work with this card. Nvidia-glx, when I install it separately and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', works perfectly.

I'm on a 5200 and jockey pushes the nvidia-glx-new which doesn't work. While nvidia-glx does.

This is actually a bug in the mappings exported by linux-restricted-modules. Can you please cut&paste the output of

  lspci -n | grep 0300:

for your hardware? Thank you!

Is this still true for the Hardy versions of l-r-m?

It still pushed the wrong driver... or maybe not. According to http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html
my card should be supported by the nvidia-glx-new driver.

lspci -n | grep 0300 output
01:00.0 0300: 10de:0322 (rev a1)

Any suggestions?

gQuigs, I also have a GeForce 5200 (10de:0322), and nvidia-glx-new has worked well in both Gutsy and Hardy. However, the default in Gutsy was nvidia-glx, and in Hardy nvidia-glx-new. So I'm a bit surprised that it does not work for you? Are you on Gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10)?

zeddock has a different card, though.

I am on hardy, 64-bit. Hmm.. there is one residual config package left, that is linux-restriced-modules from the 2.6.22 kernel. It won't let me remove it through synaptic. Could this be the problem?

Me too..

I doubt it, it's part of the old Gutsy kernel packages. You can remove
the entire set of 2.6.22 packages to clean up your system, of course.

A fresh install, and it works fine. I'm thinking it was something I did trying out experimental drivers, myself.
