Frugal + save folder.
Did several downloads and installs to make sure was not bad download and install.
Tried this with both of the Quickpet Nvidia drivers.
Same results.
Tried to install the Nvidia drivers offered in Quickpet.
After the download, install, and reboot.
Pup-Sysinfo reports the Nvidia driver is being used.
Something is wrong.
glxgears will not run
nvidia x server settings will not run.
Get this error.
See image attached.
Trying to run nvidia-xconfig just totally breaks it.
Running xorgwizard
Selecting nvidia and correct settings.
Has no affect on solving the problems.
On my first frugal install I basically experienced the same with the 340.xxx driver from Quickpet.
Running "nvidia-xconfig" totally froze the computer leading to a hard reboot.And I did doublecheck on the Nvidia site to cofirm the correct driver.Deleted the savefolder and here we are.
Second try using nouveau is all good so far.All basics working correctly on initial boot,installed several things with no problems.
Other than the Nvidia driver everything looks really solid.
