#Ubuntu remove nvidia driver install nouveau drivers
Stock 11.10 drivers were nice for single monitor but with dual screen make the windows super laggy, as if crashing or something. The ppx-swat/ nividia current stuff did not work even after adding the twinview line. (theres other posts about this) To get an initial nf run sudo nvidia-xconfig To the screen section of nf and after reboot it works. The nvidia console itself is still broken but you can manually add : Option "twinview" Long story short to get dual monitors to work I found that only nvidia 173-updates drivers from the settings>Harware>additional drivers menu would work. Sometimes nvidia screws up nf itself (pre 11.10) and the file should be deleted. Otherwise things might boot to hung shell.

If nouveau/stock driver is used name this. If nvidia is enabled instead, make sure to name this. Ubuntu nouveau uses ~/.config/monitors.xml (make backup first) sudo mv /etc/X11/nf /etc/X11/īut going back and forth can mess things up so sometimes make sure: If you know it's nvidia plugins still being used try: To get single screen to work hit ctrl-alt-f2 and login to shell. After an upgrade to 11.10 the nvidia blows up. Countless issues but one thing to document is whether 11.10 nouveau video driver is being used or nvidia. Stock install of 11.10 without Nvidia works but not for dual screen. Long answer: I did get nvidia and dual screen to work, but spent two days trying. Sudo cp -R nf /etc/X11/ answer: remove nf (see below) and then disable the nvidia drivers from additional drivers menu once the gui is available.

If you get "Current graphics card: Unknown" without an update warning you should probably switch to a newer nvidia driver ģ) To run applications using your nvidia GPU use "optirun 'application'" or "primusrun 'application'".Ĭreate a file named nf and put this inside: In this case, select "Install Updates" clicking of the prime icon on the panel.
