I'm just messing around with Ubuntu on an old PC & very impressed with its ease of installation & use, but can't get the hang of driver installation. Ubuntu initially installed & set up the generic graphics at 800x600. Going to the display settings it says there's an nVidia driver available for download (it's an old MX400 card) so I let it do its stuff, but after installation, it says the driver & package are working but the graphics are stuck at 480x640 & there's no option to change it. Removing the package restores the generic driver to 800x600 but it would be nice to get the correct drivers installed. Any suggestions please?

Use the nvidia legacy drivers package.

Thanks for reply - I think that's what I was using - it's the one that's listed in the package manager anyway, or is there one that needs to be downloaded/installed independantly of the manager? "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."

I run Mint on my Linux box & have an even older 32MB GeForce 2 MX (without the 200 or 400). Try using ENVY: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a go. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."
