Hi Fabio, I tried both the recommended & the experimental driver . Neither of them works.
I did a clean install without the "download updates while installing option". Then i could boot into natty . I installed the Recommended nvidia driver and restarted. Now, i could boot into natty but nvidia driver was not in use. "Additional h/w drivers" indicated that "the proprietary driver is activated but not in use". When i ran nvida xserver settings GUI, it said "nvidia drivers are not in use. Run nvidia-xconfig as root & reboot". I ran nvidia-xconfig as root & rebooted. Now, its the same blank screen again. Luckily I installed sshd before installing the nvidia drivers. So i can ssh into the box but i dont see anything on the screen. ' dmesg' shows the following messages (This is with the recommended nvidia driver) [ 11.039476] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
