    Failed to initialize Nvidia Graphics device

    Posted by Wen Liu on June 18, 2011 at 4:42 pm

    Hi,

    I’m trying to setup Decklink SDI on a Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit desktop. After installing BlackmagicDesktopVideo 8.0.1 and activating the system recommended Nvidia accelerated Graphics Card Driver I’m seeing a “Failed to initialize Nvidia Graphics device” error on startup. This then forces the system to be in a low graphics mode. Has anyone see this type of issue? Is there some incompatibility with the two drivers, or special configuration required for x11 in this case? I have the exact setup in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on a dual boot of the same machine without these issues.

    Thanks in advance!

    Wen
