It's just that intel's website says your motherboard has onboard video. If it doesn't, then good, one less thing to worry about. You can try lspci or lshw to see if there's onboard video or you can just check the back of the machine for video-out from the motherboard. :-) Alright then, we've proven your system is recognizing the Gforce. Now remove and then re-install 177.80 from Application->System->Hardware Drivers, restart xorg. This time instead of choosing to use the default xorg.conf (when you get thrown into low-graphics mode), hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 again and take another look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log (nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log) and locate any error messages (usually at the tail end), and of course, make sure it's starting 'nvidia' instead of 'nv'. That should give you an indication as to why the nvidia driver refuses to start properly. Every time xorg starts it re-writes the log file, copies the old one to Xorg.0.log.old. But I'm not sure how many times you've restarted so I'll assume they're identical and it's useless to look at .old. Sorry if this sounds James Joyce stream of consciousness, but I'm seriously tired right now.

I have installed restricted Drivers from System->Adminstractor->HardwareDrivers->Nvidia177. In the sypaptic manager, there are nvidia_glx are also present, do I need to install them too ? csv
