Thread: 11.04 on Asus Pro 36J Series (nvidia driver problem)

so seems i'm first 1 here trying ubuntu run on notebook. nice slim notebook intel core i5 cpu , nvidia 310m gpu inside.

list updated
works out of box:
- sound
- function keys
- wifi
- touchpad
- suspend (needs workaround http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ht=nvidia+310m)
- intel video card (embedded in cpu) works without nvidia support (disable nvidia card save power http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ht=nvidia+310m)

not work @ all
- nvidia 310m card better video performance
- usb 3.0 port seems dead, it's power soucre far

that's know far.

biggest concern suspend. problem is, notebook doesn't go suspend when manually execute sudo pm-suspend or when click suspend in menu in gui. instead shows black screen flashing cursor , stays way. no chance make go entirely sleep or wake @ all.. hold power button 10s , turn on after that.

suspect problem connected incorrect video driver being used.. i've tried both binary nvidia driver versions: ubuntu packaged version , latest version nvidia's webpage.
outcome same: nvidia module loaded when xorg starts doesn't find device.. unlike other notebooks xorg not able find screen, 1 here unable find nvidia card allthough lspci shows card fine , module loaded too.. i've blacklisted , uninstalled nouveau doesn't resolve problem either.

use nvidia in other pc's , it's working fine can't work ont hat asus notebook .. have suggestions how driver run on notebook? ..


lspci:

code:

01:00.0 vga compatible controller: nvidia corporation gt218 [geforce 310m] (rev a2)
