Further to My Display Problems

[JuanCarlos]

hello,

don't if this could do it, but i recommend you to desinstall all nvidia 
drivers you have in the computer, this is do a
dpkg -l|grep nvidia   to see all you what you have installed for nvidia 
and get rid of it and then get the propietary drivers for your nvidia 
card at:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

follow the instructions there, normally is very easy, just get the 
driver for your card, do a
chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-xxxxx

and then run the installation program, normally this solve many problems 
that you could have with the nvidia card.............

Regards

jc
