Bryce, I have found a solution. Using EnvyNG to do the install from a low graphics environment works. Now it is as close to a plug and play as I have seen. I am using 195 drivers as we speak. Can you post that as the fix?

Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:07:10 -0000 Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver-xorg-video-nv. Starting with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We are quite pleased with the upstream development speed for -nouveau, and hope this will translate into swifter bug fixes as well. Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we do not have further plans to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- Alienware M17 with NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G crashes gui on reboot with 173, 180, and 185 drivers. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474880 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
