I recently bought my wife a new laptop. It is an HP dv6125om with an
AMD 64 X2 TL-50. It has NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) using 128M of
shared memory. I wiped the hard drive and installed Kubuntu Edgy...
I have done some research and come up with all kinds of instructions on
how to install NVIDIA graphic drivers, but none that seem to work. I
used Adept to download and install nvidida-glx.
nvidia-common-kernel(sp?) was already installed. I rebooted and tried
to follow the directions in Adept..."sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" and
got the response..."unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to
have installed the nvidia driver for your running kernel."
uname -a reports
moose 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 13 15:34:39 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am thinking that you have had this discussion in the recent past. Can
someone point me to proper instructions, or the past discussion (I
couldn't find in a quick search of the archives), or point out what I
did wrong or didn't do, please?
Thanks,
Bruce
