I have a NVidia GTX 765M video card in my notebook running Ubuntu 12.04.2 and can't figure out why it doesn't use nvidia driver. I've installed nvidia-current and nvidia-settings from this repository:
ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
however when I run nvidia-settings this message is shown:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root),
and restart the X server.
Before run nvidia-xconfig I've looked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it is completely empty. After running nvidia-xconfig the scree has as maximum resolution 640x480, and the same message appears when I run nvidia-settings.
ADDED
When I run lspci | grep VGA
just Intel card is found:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
NVidia card is returned when I run lspci | grep 3D
:
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 11e2 (rev a1)
What can I do to make this video card run using nvidia driver?
lspci | grep VGA
. If there is two card listed follow this How well do laptops with Nvidia Optimus work?
