I finally solved this problem. Worked on intrepid, worked on Jaunty In intrepid: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options add the line: options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0
in Jaunty things have changed, you wont find the options file create a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with just this line as content options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0 i named it nvidia-fix.conf but the name doesn't really matter Others reported they still had blank consoles until they set vga=791 in the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst -- nvidia-glx-new causes unusable tty's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
