striker Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 @Bruno: I think Colin needs the 173.14.20 version Bruno, it's a bit older. The newer ones AFAICT do not support his 6100. Unless Colin you have a 6100 nForce 400 or nForce 420. Can you shed any light on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Aha, that's something else than the 6100! Anyway, the 6150SE nForce 430 is supported by the latest nvidia driver:see: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display..._185.18.36.htmlversion 185.18.36Just follow Brunos instructions to the letter Colin.

Bruno Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi Colin . . . I have the impression you did not copy and paste the full output of the "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" command . . . .

Bruno Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Okay Colin . . . There are 2 things:1) I suspect that the sources you use are not up to date . . . there also are double entries and that is at least confusing.I would like you to open the MCC and delete ALL sources . . . ( yep all of them ) and then from the menu bar do "file" --> "Add specific media sources" --> and on the pop-up you choose "full set of sources" --> next in the list of countries you go to France and choose either ftp.coffee.fr OR ftp.free.fr ( only one of them not both )This will add a new set of sources.Next I want you to check for updates again and report to me if there are any updates available that you did not get before.2) I see you are using the "nv" driver . . . . we will see after you checked the updates if we need to change that.
