| Mar 7, 2014 at 23:08 | comment | added | landroni | Thank you. I was aware of that question, and thought I followed it already, but perhaps I need to look at it again. As for 14.04, I'm also hopeful, but also wary: last time I upgraded the LTS on this laptop, performance worsened (including this X issue). I'm just not sure that newer releases/kernels play nicely with this oldish hardware. | |

| Mar 7, 2014 at 22:48 | comment | added | Seth Mod | Check this answer out. It's a bit long, the important part is right around the middle. | |
| Mar 7, 2014 at 22:47 | comment | added | landroni | Thank you. Well, the question was clear as day for me, even using bold markup: "How can I fix the loading of X, be it with Nvidia proprietary or generic open-source drivers?". If it wasn't, I would have improved it given comments. | |
| Mar 7, 2014 at 22:45 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @landroni Ah, I see. As for point two: Your question wasn't very clear on that. You didn't say all you wanted was to install other drivers. I'll go grab that post for you. | |
| Mar 7, 2014 at 22:44 | comment | added | landroni | Semantics: users with moderator powers. As for the relevant question, it is something I hoped to get as a comment/duplicate/whatever in the deleted question. | |
| Mar 7, 2014 at 22:41 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @landroni actually, if you look at your question, it was closed by 5 normal users, not a moderator. If you need to know how to load the Nvidia drivers from the command line there is a question about that. | |
| Mar 7, 2014 at 22:38 | comment | added | landroni | Thank you for explaining. Well the unnecessary conflict is clearly here. I do believe this specific case is moderator over-reach. As explained in comment above, I really want to know how to load X (whichever driver). But I guess moderators have made up their minds, so perhaps arguing isn't of any help here. :( | |
