Hi all,

As a new linux user, I had an issue with the Asus EN9800GT TOP graphics card in ubuntu. I think I found a solution but it might be a dirty one.

Problem:

  • Unable to set proper resolution settings.
  • No drivers found in the hardware drivers tool from ubuntu.
  • tried envyng to install the drivers automatically, which failed.
  • Could not find any linux drivers on the asus site.

Solution:

  • I did run EnvyNG to install the nVidia drivers with manual selection of driver "173.14.12".

I am able to select the proper resolution settings now, but have no idea what will happen with 3d applications/openGL yet.

Will this harm my pc or can I continue using this driver as long as it works?

Thanks in advance, Stijn
