Ubuntu 8.04 and games

[monster_eater123]

I have an SLI rig. A lot of 3-D games do not want to run correctly (i.e. Urban Terror everything runs even sound and menus. But, I get no video and it is not switching video ports. I get the message "out of range" from my monitor.) With Neverputt and Neverball only half of the screen when in fullscreen mode. The other half is plain solid black. Somebody help me!? I have 2 XFX 7600gt's and I am running GLX driver version 1.0-9755.

I'm no expert, but I had the same problem with two computers recently. Post your xorg.conf file for starters. Even if I can't help you out, anyone else will find it usefull.

See if this helps:

Well, you could TRY what I had to do with mine, but be sure to backup your xorg.conf file first. Change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "vesa" in both "Device" sections. Restart the xserver and give'er a go.

I'm kinda shootin' in the dark here, so if it doesn't do the trick for ya, restore your file from the backup and no harm done. If you need any help with that let me know and I'll walk you through it. I believe there's a utility out there made to make configuring NVidia cards easier, but I don't remember the name. If someone else out there has a better way of doing this, please chime in!
