Hi, everyone. I need help finding working linux display driver X86 for my quadro fx 2000. Nvidia website suggested the last two releases (304.64 and 310.19)… but when i read through supported products, my gpu is not listed!!! I also tried installing them anyway but they failed!
Any help will be appreciated.
Why did they fail? attach both /var/log/nvidia-installer.logs
After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 173.14.36 installed correctly but am not getting unity 3D: unity 2D works fine.
:~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

strangely 310.19 says it supports your card, do attach those nvidia-installer logs (name them .JPG so they attach ;) )
Below is a copy of NVIDIA-INSTALLER logs.

ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. This driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver, and must be disabled before proceeding. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your Linux distribution’s documentation for details on how to correctly disable the Nouveau kernel driver.
→ For some distributions, Nouveau can be disabled by adding a file in the modprobe configuration directory. Would you like nvidia-installer to attempt to create this modprobe file for you? (Answer: Yes)
→ The modprobe configuration file to disable Nouveau, /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf, has been written. For some distributions, this may be sufficient to disable Nouveau; other distributions may require modification of the initial ramdisk. Please reboot your system and attempt NVIDIA driver installation again. Note if you later wish to reenable Nouveau, you will need to delete the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
