Okay, I fixed it -- once. The problem appears to have been that the nvidia.ko and nvidia_legacy.ko module files were still hanging around. I discovered this by using
modprobe -l nv* I deleted them forcibly, leaving only the nvidia_new.ko. Starting X (I was in a terminal) immediately presented the nvidia splash screen. However, upon rebooting, the files appear to have returned, and I get the same error as before. -- latest xorg / nvidia-glx-new /linux-restricted-modules breaks xserver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151213 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
