No problem! I'm not sure what could have caused it really. It might have been a bad download or filesystem problem, but I think they would be quite unlikely. I had a problem with my NVIDIA drivers a few months back which I solved by reinstalling all the relevant packages. I don't know what triggere

It's still not obvious to me what the issue is. The log says very early on that it is using the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe configuration, but it doesn't say why. There isn't any useful information after that statement, as the failsafe configuration behaves as expected. Does /var/log/:0.log contai

It looks like your xorg.conf has been generated using the Screens and Graphics tool. Could you try running with a bare xorg.conf please? You can create one by doing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg You will still need to add 'Driver "nvidia"' to the 'Device' section of the new file, but don't
