Check your xorg.conf Device section.
What is the Driver name?
If it is other than "nvidia", try replace it.

when u type nvidia-xconfig, it shud have show u that a new xorg.conf is created.

if this doesn't help, u shud consider reinstalling the driver in synaptic, find the nvidia-185-kernel-source.

after install, repeat the nvidia-xconfig step, and restart

Whoa! That's very complicated. Already try type 'nividia-xconfig', but nothing appears.
By the way, any simpler way to make it better????

Open up terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find line something like this:

CODE

Section "Device"
Option "RenderAccel" "1"
### Available Driver options are:-
# sw_cursor is needed for some ati and radeon cards
#Option "sw_cursor"
#Option "hw_cursor"
#Option "NoAccel"
#Option "ShowCache"
#Option "ShadowFB"
#Option "UseFBDev"
#Option "Rotate"
Identifier "Card0"
# The following line is auto-generated by OSHIRIX mkxf86config
Driver "nv"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
#BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

Look at the Driver. The above examples using xorg opensource driver for nvidia ("nv").
Since you are using proprietary driver, you should change it to "nvidia".

CODE

Driver "nvidia"

Reboot.

Dude, thanks for the suggestions. I've tried it, but other thing showed up and this is what I've found.

CODE

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

The driver already have 'nvidia', but I'm also don't know why it become like that....

Dude, I've tried found the driver in synaptic, but can't found it. But I found the latest I'm not install it yet is, nvidia-180-kernel-source.
I've installed 170 but not 180 and just install the 180. Am I do the right thing??

check your module: lsmod |grep nvidia
If it is there then your nvidia driver loads fine.
I don't think this is Ubuntu's bug. This is proprietery driver and tools.

Most likely is Nvidia's problem, not Linux. Mine is Nvidia 8400M GS, and works just fine on MEPIS. Not sure whether I'm using native driver or nvidia's driver though.

From your previous post of your xorg.conf, there is lack of Display subsection in Section "Screen".
Probably this is the culprit.

IF you can post your new xorg.conf, maybe I can take a look further.

Your Section Screen should look like this:

CODE

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

If editing like above does not work, try reconfigure xorg: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
