I finally solved this problem. Worked on intrepid, worked on Jaunty In intrepid: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options add the line: options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0
in Jaunty things have changed, you wont find the options file create a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with just this line as content options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0 i named it nvidia-fix.conf but the name doesn't really matter Others reported they still had blank consoles until they set vga=791 in the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst -- nvidia-glx-new causes unusable tty's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
