Had a nvidia geforce 440 fermi card and it worked. Upgraded to GTX 650ti, and card works well in Win7. I had put in the card and went to MCC to set up x server settings and selected geforce 400 and later which seemed to be the correct one, and I get the message about the proprietary driver, do you want to use? and I selected yes. Awhile later it finishes and asks to be rebooted.
Reboot, and get a bunch of blue and white bars and messed up text and seems to hang at a point where it says "failed to start wait for Plymouth
boot screen to quit" or something like that. Restart the computer in safe prompt and delete xorg.conf and reboot and am in vesa mode.Have tried nouveau driver in the MCC as well and get to a desktop, with unreadable text. This card not compatible, or problematic in Linux?
non functional xorg.conf:
Any one know of any threads/suggestions? I have googled for the problem, get some hits, but nothing seems to be fit or be an easy fix. What log files to look at? I also tried to to d/l the driver from nvidia, run the .run file as root and the text on screen during installer is garbled as well, and hangs.
