Linux 8800gts 512 and linux

has anybody here got the new g92 cards working under linux? i tried booting up ubuntu for the first time since i got mine, and it popped me into "safe graphics mode". i figured no problem, i'd just reinstall the driver. but then the latest nvidia binaries in the repository don't work with the card, and the restricted drivers manager can't even see it.

i'm going to try manually installing the driver off nvidia's website next. how do i get Xorg turned off? i tried going doing telinit 3 and then killall xorg, but X just restarted automatically.

 

ctrl + alt + F2

and then

Code:

sudo init 3

or

Code:

/etc/init.d/gdm stop

 

Which Distrobution are you using?

 

you have to download the driver from nvidia website,
sudo su
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
cd <path to driver>
chmod 777 <driver name>
./<driver name>

follow instruction and all will be find. I use a 8800gt right now and exept few visual glith at 3360x1050, it work perfectly

 

thanks for the help guys. that did it.
