@Iain, I had nvidia-glx-185 installed and working. I had manually patched it. I also had removed the fall_back patch as I suspected it of causing trouble. So I went from a working driver, upgraded using the ppa, and the system locked, with a blank screen. I used REISUB, attempted booting again, and this time had a quickly flashing login screen. Halfway through REISUB, before I got to B, the flickering stopped and I was able to log in to a TTY. That's when I removed, then reinstated, the fall_back patch, as I said above.
Before all that, I had installed the 190 drivers but was unable to boot on the RT kernel. So I guess it is possible that I still had some residual stuff from that. -- 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-173 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
