 Hi,

 I have the same problem with HP Compaq nx9105. Wheezy worked well. After
 fresh install of Jessie, only black screen. From the X.org log it seems that
 none of the graphic drivers worked.

 According to lspci, the video is NV17M Geforce4 420 Go 32M.

 Is there something to do in order to make Jessie run on this machine?

This is completely unrelated to #735424. AFAIK, your nvidia GPU is so
old that it's only supported by the 96.xx nvidia driver series, which
was removed from jessie because it's no longer compatible with the
version of X shipped in jessie (and nvidia themselves no longer
support it); see bug #755453 [1]. You'll have to either switch to the
free/non-proprietary drivers (nouveau), or switch to a newer graphics
card, in order to run jessie.

Regards,
Vincent

 Hello,
 
 again i tried to upgrade from a perfect running installation of Debian
 wheezy to jessie.
That should be supported :-)

 This installation has been upgraded more than one time and in the
 history there might be the usage of original nvidia packages.
I have put a lot of effort into cleaning up the mess created by having
used the nvidia *.run installer in the past, but I may have missed some
corner cases.

 lspci shows:
 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT
 430] (rev a1)
 
 $ dmesg | grep -i nvidia

 Is this the driver of the Debian packages or from natively NVida?
 How can i determine the difference?

proprietary driver packaed by Debian

 Now after the upgrade to jessie i have the installed NVidia packages:

looks fine

 It's really boring to have only a command shell after boot of jessie!
 I have no idea what's going wrong and i don't want to install the
 original NVidia driver package.
 Any help to solve the problem maybe helpful to other persons with the
 same problem also.

Right now I don't see an obvious problem.
Please run

  reportbug -N 735424

on the machine, this will collect a bit more information about your
setup, e.g. Xorg logfiles.

That was my hope also - but i was really disappointed to land on the shell.

I believe that and thank you for your work!

There are really to many types of NVidia-cards out there.
Is there a way to easy find out which package must be installed for an NVidia 
card?

Here i can't find my card:
http://packages.debian.org/jessie/nvidia-legacy-173xx-driver


Here i can't find any hint what to do on jessie:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
I would update this Wiki-page with the correct informations.


Right now I don't see an obvious problem.
Please run

   reportbug -N 735424


I will do this.
But after this i would try to install the correct NVida-package for a GT 400 if 
possible.

run nvidia-detect from the nvidia-detect package
