Driver is used now, but menu background is fully transparent, as good as unreadable, and working is impossible due to extremely lagging. Responses to any action is dealayed by about 20 seconds.

Any hints?

Yay! Worked for me – having another go with Linux Mint now that Windows XP support is about to end 🙂

Big Thanks!

I just installed Linux for my first time. And this solved my “cinnamon crashed” reload? problem with Linux Mint 16 and Cinnamon.

okay so I went through this pain to deactivate nouveau and install the //latest// nvidia driver to find it only supports low res ….640x
perhaps someone should have warned us about this. now I am completely up the creek.
my only choiceIis to go back to lisa. as ? dont have the skills to keep fighting the windows authoritarian style of maya which denied me the option to install the linux driver in the first place. Instead I was stuck with the POS nouveau driver which had no support for polygon mapping in google earth.
which is why I started this whole sorry episode.
