Can't get NVIDIA drivers working on Bionic 18.04
I have an (oldish?) W530 Thinkpad with an NVIDIA Quadro K1000M card and recently installed 18.04. Since then I've faced the following problems
- external Philips 216V monitor doesn't work via VGA port - says it has no signal.
- The NVIDIA X Server Settings display is pretty much empty. What I mean is that it has none of the expected settings for external terminals, resolution etc. I've attached an image of the app. NVIDIA X Server app
I've spent several weeks reading through a multitude of forum appends which relate to NVIDIA issues on Ubuntu...have tried many, many suggestions, and still haven't got this working. Beginning to wonder if my laptop and/or my video driver is becoming obsolete for the newer versions of Ubuntu and NVIDIA drivers?
Hopefully someone can provide me with some clarity on how I can resolve this issue.
I'm not sure what diagnostics are needed - I tried inserting xorg.log.0 (enclosed in code labels) but got the error 'This looks like spam.' when I tried to post. So, no log included I'm afraid but can try to provide any output you require...so long as it doesn't look like spam.
Thanks for your help
