Thank you for your bug report. Richie: You have (at least) two different issues here and bug reports only really work if you stick to one issue per report. The first issue is that you don't see anything on the framebuffer during boot. The second appears to be that Feisty (you didn't indicate which version of Ubuntu you were running so I'm guessing) doesn't ship with binary drivers that support you card. You need to choose which issue you want this particular bug to be about and spin the other issue off into its own separate bug report.
With regard to the later issue, your card is new and binary drivers that supported it were not out at the time of Feisty's release. The nvidia- glx-new drivers as currently shipped are based off 97xx series of drivers and these do not list your card as being supported (http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html ). Looking at previous releases, it seems unlikely that Ubuntu Feisty will add binary driver support for your card during its life which means you will have to use 3rd party non-Ubuntu drivers to enable support (in theory when Gusty comes out this problem should be rectified). restricted-manager can only automatically enable binary driver support for cards that the Ubuntu repositories have drivers for... -- nvidia 8600 not supported in ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
