I'm not sure if it is the exact same root cause, but this happens to me on two widescreen Dell displays on two Nvidia graphics cards under 7.04. My desktop is AMD-based, GeForce 7800 GT with a Dell 2005FPW monitor (screen really made by LG). Laptop is Dell Inspiron 8500 with GeForce Go 4200. On both systems I can boot into graphics safe mode, download automatix, use it to install nvidia drivers, and then manually change resolution in xorg.conf to 1680x1050. Both systems are now working perfectly, but I would like to be able to use the live CDs.
I'm not sure if it's related, but back when I was running breezy badger it did the same thing to me on my laptop after I allowed synaptic to update nv drivers, and I had to boot into recovery mode and switch drivers. SleepZ, I know you said it was now working for you, but you never said what monitor you are using. If you don't want to tell me the model, can you at least tell me the resolution or aspect ratio? I'm wondering if this is only happening with widescreens. -- xserver-xorg crashes when handling newer nvidia cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41979 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
