hi! i have a fx5700 graphics card. I tried installing nvidia-173 drivers, the installation seemed successful but after reboot the changes have not taken place and nouveau is still in use. How should I go about installing nvidia-173?
LuMint 2017-01-28 15:47:59
i haven't blacklisted nouveau manually, though. Just in case: my xorg version is X.Org: 1.15.1

I am running Radeon HD 6850 video card on 1 monitor no problem... when I plug in the second DVI monitor to it, The screens flicker and I only have 1 screen with a signal
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:27:59
whenI go into display, it shows the second screen there and it is enabled, but nothing is sent to the actual monitor

kaya: Hiiiiii
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:34:50
is there something I need to do special in order to get dual monitors working on the same video card?
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:34:55
i have tried with the same and different monitors
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:34:57
no luck
Sean_McG 2017-01-28 16:35:08
bigLanky: what card?
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:35:17
radeon hd 6850
Sean_McG 2017-01-28 16:35:45
hmmm, dunno then... I know the nVidia boards have special instructions for multi-monitor but have not looked into AMD at all
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:37:13
so I have a GT 730 that is giving me problems as well

bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:37:32
when I have that in there, i get CRT errors and the display just does some weird stuff
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:37:37
1 or 2 monitors it doesnt matter
bigLanky 2017-01-28 16:37:44
right now the nvidia card is out
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 16:43:58
bigLanky: Just a thought; but, did you purge the nVidia drivers for the ATI install ?
