nVidia-settings error

Recommended Posts

After upgrading nVidia drivers on 2007.1 nvidia-settings no longer runs correctly. The following error is reported on startup: " You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " X server is using the nVidia drivers, as the nVidia splash-screen displays on start up, and all Xorg.conf file driver references refer to "nvidia".

 

Any thoughts?
