I am experiencing this same problem. I am re-installing usplash now (I removed it in an attempt to make things work/get a better view of the problem).
What I experience when I've configured xorg to use the nvidia driver is that my display goes blank. I am unable to switch to any other virtual consoles, and I am unable to kill X. I have not tried to access the machine via the network (I could), but a ctrl-alt-del does reboot the machine. This is repeatable as long as I have nvidia as the configure video driver. Once I switch back to nv, everything works fine. I notice that the nvidia kernel modules is loaded at all times, regardless of the configured xorg driver. I'm running an updated edgy (32-bit intel). Let me know what further information I can provide to help solve this problem. -- breaks display https://launchpad.net/bugs/59433 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
