Richard1098 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 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?

scarecrow Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Common symptom with compiz enabled. Just disable it, restart X, run any mods you need using nvidia-settings, re-enable. I don't have to do all that anymore, but I am running a very fresh compiz-fusion nightly build (using 7600GS videocard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
