Driver support Nvidia GeForce 9200M GE

Asked by Jerrin Raju

I have an HP G60t-200 Laptop. I tried installing all the nividia drivers from the hardware support built into ubuntu, envy ng and also the ones from the Nvidia site. Nvidia does not support 9200M GE. it supports the GS and plain 9200. I was trying to get a driver that supports the GE. i install the drivers and i end up with 6 small identical screens that have everything squished together. You cannot click on anything in the panels because you click on the button next to it as its all overlapping. i went to the xserver settings and it does not detect my video card model or anything like that. i cannot use compiz or can i use hardware accleration. please let me know what more info i should give to solve this.
Thank you,
Jerrin Raju

Can someone make a driver for the Nvidia GeForce 9200M GE please? or at least tell me how i can edit the driver for the 9200 to make it work in the GE edition
