I have a problems with my display driver.
I'm using nvidia gforce fx display adapter and gtc primera lcd monitor.
since ubuntu 8.04 i can't use ubuntu live cd directly, my monitor always says "out of resolution"
and i'm trying to install nvidia display drivers from nvidia website and ubuntu 8.04 run perfectly with 3d effect enable.
But when i'm trying to use ubuntu 9.04 live cd, i can't install my display drivers, so i can't see
my graphical desktop. When i'm trying to install my display driver from nvidia website, the installer
says kernel source code doesn't match your current kernel version.
I have tried this method:
1. cd to kernel source code
2. make prepare
3. make kernelversion
4. make kernelrelease
4. reinstall nvidia display driver
but it dosn't work.
I can't solve this problem.

why you don't try to use proprietary hardware driver manager in
ubuntu? it's located on system > administration > hardware drivers
menu.

Agreed, but he is trying to use the proprietary driver. The problem is
he can't see anything for want of the driver with a Jaunty live-cd.
In my case, the screen was shifted to the right and a fat black line
was in place on the left with the live-Cd, but when I installed Karmic
and then installed the nvidia driver(s) and rebooted, the desktop was
as it should be.
My advice to Wayan Adjust is to try burning the Karmic (9.10) and
looking at that, or to update to Jaunty from within Update Manager. If
you don't like it, you can always revert to 8.10.
