Inteprid Lack of Nvidia Driver
What the ... last night I got succesfully download my Inteprid iso and just a minute ago I've installed it on a PC (I'm working on it). But back then I realized there's something wrong, My Compiz isn't working. Oh I almost forgot that Ubuntu didn't automatically recognize Nvidia Driver. So I go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers but only this I got.
Rush to ubuntu-id milis and found the same problem I got. Said that it's right that the old Nvidia driver doesn't compatible to new Xorg. Here's the quote of Inteprid team.
So sayonara goodbye to Compiz in this PC. Nop!!
But don't stop until the last fight.
I finally found how to get some geek way from launchpad.
Will you try it?? Or just kick this Video Card out of the window.

The 71 and 96 series of proprietary nVidia drivers, as provided by the nvidia-glx-legacy and nvidia-glx packages in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, are not compatible with the X.Org included in Ubuntu 8.10. Users with the nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4 chipsets are affected and will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. This driver does not support 3D acceleration.

- Download NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg1.run (or the other one if
you're running a 64 bit system) to your home folder (/home/simon/ for
me)
- switch to pty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- log in
- sudo service kdm stop (will kill X server) (or gdm if you are running gnome)
- sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg1.run
- say yes to everything (will compile nvidia kernel module)
- sudo reboot now (reboot now !!)
And that should be enough, login and check that "glxinfo | grep
direct" says "YES"
Will you try it?? Or just kick this Video Card out of the window.
