-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks Jeff, Got the screen back using the vesa driver. Resolution is fair but I can't seem to get any nvidia drivers to work. I must be doing something wrong. The card is a Galaxy NVIDIA GeForce 6200 (0x0222) which the nvidia site claims is covered by the new nvidia driver. I've tried both nvidia drivers using the add/remove software graphical interface and both apt-get and downloading the driver package. The last system worked well on my machine with a GeForce 6200 3D card. Both cards have 256Mb of RAM.
