[Bug 772207] Re: version 173.14.30 is buggy for GeForce FX 5200

 

I have the same problem in a fresh install of 11.04.

My Gfx card is an Onboard Nvidia GeForce 6150 with 512 MB Ram.

I have tried enabling both the 173 version and the current (270.41.06),
but Unity is not loading, and desktop effects are not available in
Ubunty Classic.

The first time i booted the newly installed OS I received a warning that
my system hardware was not up to specs to run Unity. I then activated
the Nvidia proprietary drivers, but to no luck.

I even found somewhere where it was suggested that I reinstall the kernel using:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae 
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae 

but that changed nothing.
