Comment 11 for bug 261816

Ciao Albert

Thanks for your quick answer, and sorry that I did actually oversee the bug title. Meanwhile I have succeeded installing the nvidia 177 beta driver with jockey, but it took me a while to figure out which version of the driver supports which graphic card, and which driver is alpha, beta or stable. Maybe there should be more text in synaptics describing in depth a more detailed status of the driver (the card coverage on the other hand is very well explained). Well, ok, I admit that I could spend some time searching the internet about that ...

One major lowdown at the moment is, that if I try to change the screen settings either with displayconfig-gtk or gnome-display-properties my display gets corrupted again and cannot be set back. I have to uninstall the nvidia driver, reboot and reinstall the nvdia driver. Fortunately, using nvidia-settings for changing the display setting works like a charm! But this I should report somewhere else :-)

Thanks again, Alberto! Keep up the good work! Greetings from André
