Hi guys..
First i would like to apoligise myself for my bad english i'm only sixteen and i'm portuguese...
I installed my drivers for my graphic card the 96.31 Legacy nvidia drivers and changed that part of xorg.conf from 'nvidia' to 'nv'... but i'm not able to have the 3D desktop and that 3D effects in my ubuntu 7.04 feisty..
can someone help me in order to put this thing working...?
Change it the other way around. 'nvidia' is the driver you want to use.

i can't do it because if i make it when i restart gnome my screen will get white and the graphic interface wouldn't load... so i have to go to text mode and rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf.anything then start gnome again change the xorg.conf.anything to xorg.conf and change 'nvidia' by 'nv' for graphic interface work...
make sure you have aiglx loaded usually white screens are due to aiglx.
look if you have nvidia in the right paths. usually it's a problem with path if you have the latest xorg. you can simlink to where xorg want them. if you want 3D you definitively need nvidia and not nv.

After you get the white screen, go to text mode, and save for us '/var/log/xorg.0.log'. It may have information that will help us. It will be large, but please post it here.

Did you post your xorg.conf? If so, I missed it. Your log says that it's getting the wrong amount of memory and horiz and vert ranges that make no sense to it. You might try this in the "Monitor" section of your xorg.conf file:
Quote:
HorizSync 30-80
VertRefresh 60-75
But we're probably going to need to see your xorg.conf if this doesn't work or if you don't understand what I posted. If you use "nv" in your xorg.conf, then you are not using the driver you installed from nvidia.

Ok, I just saw your new post. Enable this xorg.conf file, and reboot. When you get the large white screen, press '<ctrl> + <alt> + F1' and you will be taken to a text mode. Copy the new /var/log/xorg.0.log to your home directory (~) so it doesn't get overwritten, and post that one the same way you did the previous one.
