After installing Hardy Heron RC1, I found that my NVidia driver was no longer working. After hours of pain, I found the following solution to work easily.
- Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
- Search for envyng and select envyng-core and envyng-gtk
- Apply
- Close the Package Manager
- From the command line, runĀ envyng -g
- Use the auto-detect option
- Restart the computer when prompted
- If your display is still messed up:
- Open a Terminal
- sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
- Click X Server Display Configuration
- Save (it will write a new xorg.conf file)
- Restert the X Server ( Ctrl-Alt-Backspace )
- Experience the joy of a properly working NVidia driver on Ubuntu

I’ve tried your solution but it does not work for me.
I have an Nvidia Geforce 4 mx440
when I run “sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings” it says
ERROR: the control display is undefined. please run `nvidia-settings –help` for usage information
I’m a beginner with linux!
Any idea?
Thank you!
