[Bug 1026532] [NEW] Gnome 3 works now with the newer proprietary NVidia-driver

[Andreas Glaeser]

Public bug reported:

This is meant to be a clarfication of yesterday´s report. Actually Cinnamon- and Mate- Version of 'Linux Mint 13' were installed on this box yesterday and not on the other P4-computer, I try to get rid of.
The situation is now as follows:
Installation and System Start went fine first, but when Online-Updates were applied, the next system-start was 'Out of sync range' and not displayable by my monitor. This may be a problem specific to my very monitor, because it reports wrong ddc-values or the like. Setting the default-boot-parameter to 'vga=791' in /etc/default/grub did not change the situation either.
Next I tried installing the recommenden propreitary NVidia-driver, which did not work out. Then the newer of the two proprietary drivers was installable and works just fine with gnome-classic and gnome3 are both usable and OK. 
So there really seems just a functioning driver missing for nvidia-legacy hardware. 3D accelleration works well enough with nouveau, so it would be sufficient, if someone was able to fix this gtk3-nouveau issue.
This PC is not for myself, but for someone who still uses the previous LTS-version of Ububtu and is used to gnome. So gnome-classic shoud be OK for her at first without having to learn too many new things about gnome3-usage at once.
