I upgraded the drivers using Iain's ppa. On first reboot, X failed to start (Xsplash never showed up, screen stayed blank for several minutes.) The keyboard was responsive, and I was able to get to a tty. I removed the dkms module, and edited dkms.conf to disable fall_back_on_mtrr_if_no_pat.patch. Built the dkms module, rebooted, and all was well.
Then, I removed the dkms module again, re-enabled fall_back_on_mtrr_if_no_pat.patch, rebuilt the dkms module, and rebooted. It is now working. So I guess fall_back_on_mtrr_if_no_pat.patch can be ruled out as the cause of the problem. -- Nvidia binary driver won't build with 2.6.31-rt kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 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
