Ok I solved IT, installing the latest drivers won't work either....
i have to roll back to the 100.14.19 drivers, these seems to be working fine, no garbled consoles (i don't have a system hangs yet either) firstly uninistall the ubuntu nvidia driver in the restricted hardware app... the follow this guide to clean the system( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 ) If you wish to install the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver on a Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu system that ships with Xorg 7.x, please ensure that your system meets the following requirements: * development tools like make and gcc are installed * the linux-headers package matching the installed Linux kernel is installed * the pkg-config and xserver-xorg-dev packages are installed * the nvidia-glx package has been uninstalled with the --purge option and the files /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx and /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel do not exist If you use Ubuntu, please also ensure that the linux-restricted-modules or linux-restricted-modules-common packages have been uninstalled. Alternatively, you can edit the /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules or /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common configuration file and disable the NVIDIA linux-restricted kernel modules (nvidia, nvidia_legacy) via: DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new" Additionally, delete the following file if it exists: /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed Now donwload this drivers set (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.19.html) go to the console (crtl-alt-f1) stop gdm sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop go to the driver download folder, and do sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run don't donwload the kernel modules, compile it ... reboot and Voila another nvidia nightmare solved for me.... -- Compaq Presario F500 nvidia problem in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207749 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
