hi, Despite going through all the modifications above, I still had the problem. I am working on hp Pavillion tx1205us, recently upgraded to Hardy Heron.
However, I could solve the problem by installing an earlier version of nvidia. "jockey-gtk" installs "nvidia-glx-new". I am not very good with Debian programming. So, I installed "nvidia-glx-envy" instead using "envyng-gtk" which has a nice GUI and does a nice job of enabling the driver as well. Note by default it will install "nvidia-glx-new-envy". So I had to manually choose an earlier version. Given the warnings on the website of envy, I would be very grateful if someone can post how, to enable "nvidia-glx" (which can be installed using synaptic or apt-get). thanks -- Funky Colors on Shutdown Screen when using vga= modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43223 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
