NVIDIA drivers not working on an old Lenovo laptop.

[CoatlessEskimo]

Please forgive my terrible formatting, this is being typed from a phone.

I currently have a Lenovo Ideapad (exact model unknown) with Nvidia discrete graphics. The Nvidia kernel module fails to load after installing Nvidia drivers, and running ‘nvidia-xconfig’. The card is a G96CM [ GeForce GT 130M ] according to lspci. Does anyone know what I should do?

Edit: I have tried mhwd -a. Still broken.

Funny, I have a fairly old configuration for my T61, running fine:

$ inxi -Gz
Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] driver: nvidia v: 340.108 
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: nvidia resolution: 1680x1050~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: Quadro NVS 140M/PCIe/SSE2 v: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.108 

But today, when trying to test today's RC ISO, I seemed to hang getting to my desktop on the live ISO.

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

and post some more information so we can see what's really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies...
