[Vostro 3300] Error adding nvidia-current module

[franciscoruiz]

Hi,

I'm not able to load the nvidia-current module via modprobe:

FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/3.0.0-14-generic-pae/updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko): No such device

VGA controllers:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 18) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] [10de:0a75] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

System information:

Linux fran-Vostro-3300 3.0.0-14-generic-pae #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 22:07:10 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I've checked the models supported by nvidia-current and mine is listed as such. I'll try to upgrade to the latest nvidia driver to see what happens.

It looks like you've harmful acpi call scripts.

Try Bumblebee as described in http://askubuntu.com/a/36936/6969 (for upgrading, see http://wiki.bumblebee-project.org/Upgrading-on-Ubuntu). If your issue is solved, press the Close button to lower the load on Martin.

Thanks. I'm not going to dig into that now, so I'll close the ticket anyway. Thank you again.
