Please be sure that your kernel > module and all NVIDIA driver files have the same driver version. You're getting that message because the nvidia kernel module that was installed with the linux-restricted-modules package (1.0-7184) is being loaded at boot time along with the nvidia xorg driver (1.0-7185 ) that you installed with the nvidia-installer (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7185-pkg1.run) program which gets loaded when gdm starts X. As the error message indicates, the kernel module and xorg driver have to match versions. If you are going to use the Nvidia provided 7185 driver, then you have to edit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and put the line "DISABLED_MODULES="nv" at the bottom. That will prevent the lrm-manager from linking and loading the linux-restricted-modules version of the nvidia kernel module and allow the Nvidia provided version to load. Frankly, though I would just try to get X working again before messing with getting gl acceleration turned on. Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to replace "nvidia" with "nv" on the "Driver" line under the "Device" section and restart gdm. If X starts without any errors, then you can move on to trying to get the nvidia drivers installed. -- sktsee -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
