Thanks for the update flabdablet... until I read your comment, it didn't occur to me that my post wasn't really that informative.. I guess I was just focusing on getting people back up and running. First of all, as far as I know, there is absolutely no reason to run the legacy drivers, so please d

The attached xorg.conf fixed this issue on my Dell Inspiron 8200 (used with nvidia-glx, not nvidia-glx-legacy). Once you have basic nvidia functionality again, have a play with the nvidia-settings tool; all sorts of nice things can be done. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://librarian.lau

Thanks, Unfortunately no success though. :-( I did the reconfigure and then the nvidia config as you suggested. When I restarted X it seemed liked X didn't want to come up right. I couldn't even switch to one of the consoles and had to restart my system. After restart it behaved pretty much the sa

Ok I'm going to move this to the restricted modules package for Feisty as the nvidia proprietary drivers are located there. If your xorg.conf says "nv" then what you're looking at in synaptic is most likely the feisty version of the open source drivers. I can't really tell you more, if you want to

actually when I first read the xorg.conf I thought it was after, if it's before and the "nvidia" drivers are coming up as a blank screen then changing it back will just meet with the same results. The update-manager might have handled the problem on it's own (not sure). Let me know how it goes. -

The "Nv" drivers are the open source nvidia drivers, you could try setting that to "nvidia" but I doubt that will fix it. Like I said, I'm pretty sure you need to reinstall the nvidia proprietary drivers. -- [feisty] X is blank after upgrade https://launchpad.net/bugs/82312 -- ubuntu-bugs maili

I believe that whenever you upgrade the kernel you need to reinstall the proprietary drivers. Can you include your xorg.conf or just see if it modified what drivers it's using? Try referring to http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy It kind of backs up theory by stating: "Every time yo
