Well, it isn't Xubuntu specific and the driver loads fine after installing it with the restricted drivers tool, but... Getting a dual screen set up requires the use of nvidia-settings under the root account, to overwrite xorg.conf. This is obviously not what the *ubuntu devs want, but since there is no other way to graphically configure your nvidia video card, this will be held 'against' Linux... Hopefully xorg 7.3 will fix this... <blockquote cite="mideur2he$a0t$1@sea.gmane.org" type="cite"> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">The installation went fine on my hardware, except for Grub not finding the correct drive numbers (it detects my SATA disk as HD1 whilst it should be HD0). </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Again, grub/kernel/general Ubuntu error, please file a bug in LP.

It seems that since I plugged a SATA disk next to an IDE one, grub tends to enumerate them wrongly on boot. A simple edit in menu.lst fixed this... <blockquote cite="mideur2he$a0t$1@sea.gmane.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">That's about it... </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> thanks for testing. </pre> </blockquote> Thank you for giving me something to test! -H- </body> </html>
