Graphic driver is treated as unknown in system info in Ubuntu 11.10

Asked by RIZA BAYOGLU

Although the graphic driver is installed, the system info says you don't have it. Also in display menu, there is no monitor.
I can not use projector and sometimes my laptop does not start, so I go recovery which makes me sick.
Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Why and how does it make you sick?

Strange

try:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

Then reboot, if you get no display, boot to recovery mode and run:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Can you help with this problem?
