I installed Ubuntu 23.10. I have NVIDIA GT 730, which is a legacy card now. While installation, the GDM would not appear, I was only greeted with a black screen. I installed using Safe Graphics Mode. And after installation, I installed Nvidia display driver 470, which is the latest driver from my GPU. I am using Xorg, and under Settings>About>System Details, I can see that Graphics is "NVIDIA GT730" but I don't think it's gnome is using my GPU for display rendering. Everything's very laggy and slow.

Here is the output of nvidia-smi: enter image description here

It shows no running process, but while searching for the solution I found that it shows Xorg and gnome-shell under processes for others, meaning GPU is being used for rendering the gnome-shell.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers, what shall I do now ??

  • You should check which display driver Xorg is using. You can find out in the Xorg log file.

  • @DanielB update the answer with the output. Both nouveau and nvidia drivers are being loaded, could that be the issue?

  • It’s not great, but only one module can win. Looking at LoadModule log lines is not enough. You must read the entire log.
