Asked by jonlopez

Did you try to disable the onboard video card in the system bios? Also when you configure the nvidia card make sure the pcislot numbers are correct.

I installed nvidia-glx-config for ubuntu 6.10 to recognize my nvidia g-force6800 graphics card after I restarted it didn't load the GUI interface. I then used the sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx command it removed it but still did not fix the problem. Do you have the command line to fix this problem.

Maddog, you may need to rerun "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or else manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the line saying:
        Driver "nvidia"
so that it says:
        Driver "nv"

If you would rather use the (faster, 3d accelerated) "nvidia" driver, the package you want is actually "nvidia-glx", not "nvidia-glx-config".
