Yes, that worked Nvidia 310.32 installed and working fine on Generic.
I think you can even take the generic kernel and
add the param
at boot time.
It's a good idea to test the graphics driver with the generic kernel.
For test purpose it might be good to remove the lowlatency kernel and
for the generic kernel _not_ to set threadirqs or what ever parameter is
meant. FWIW 3D screensavers should work with nouveau too, I
suspect that only a
few games need a proprietary driver.
I'll be able to compare results between the Nouveau and proprietary
drivers. Doesn't mean much I'm sure, but glxgears managed 85fps with
Nouveau and 3,520fps with 310.32 (GeForce GTX 560 Ti) :)
I'm a Ubuntu Studio user too and removed my NVIDA
graphics from my
computer, using the integrated ATI now, with the FLOSS driver. Something
like Google Earth is as fast as with the NVIDIA proprietary and with
nouveau, but ATI at the moment does cause less (= no) pain on my
machine, but even NVIDIA doesn't cause serious pain. NVIDIA proprietary
driver support usually is better than ATI proprietary driver support for
Linux. For my ATI there is no proprietary driver that does work with
current versions of X.
Mmm. Google Earth. I must get on installing and configuring.
I'm not a gamer. Perhaps it's better to have
separated installs, one for
games, the other for audio-realtime.
It may well come to that. Boot is so amazingly fast, it would hardly
matter if I do need to go that way, but I prefer everything working
well on one kernel if possible.
Thanks again.
