Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
After updating to the nvidia driver the screen went blank (though I
could head the gdm boot sound).
After looking into a terminal in the Xorg logs I noticed the nvidia
module was detecting two displays: CRT and DFP (DFP-0 actually). Note
that there was no second display connected to the laptop. Furthermore,
the module selected the CRT as the default display, hance the blank
screen.
I had to hand-edit the xorg.conf file and added the option
"ConnectedMonitor" "DFP". This seems to fix the problem.
Please note that the display worked just fine with the default (nv I
assume) driver and the proprietary nvidia module also worked just fine
on Ubuntu 6.06. This only seems to happen on Ubuntu 7.10.
The machine is an old Dell C840 with an nvidia card.
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
