Ubuntu Edgy - black screen on reboot
Did a fresh install on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 and am getting a black screen on reboot... using an MX4000 NVIDIA GFORCE card. Actually I'm able to get to a terminal by using CTRL-ALT-F1, but I'm unable to startx.
After install Ubuntu and running an apt-get update / apt-get upgrade then installing KUBUNTUI rebooted the machine and black is all I see... Did I need to do some type of video card driver installation? or isn't there a default driver loaded? T.I.A. TW, |
You probably need to install the nvidia X module. Run:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv You may need to modify xorg.conf to load the module under the Modules section. Run 'dpkg -L xserver-xorg-video-nv' to see what is the name of the modules. It should be called saved possibly to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnv.so |

Of course you have to have a working OS to do this, but doing a reinstall of Ubuntu or any OS you can make this work. |

When I ran `dpkg -L xserver-xorg-video-nv` I get a list of directory's, files, etc. the 2 that stick out to me are nv_drv.so and riva128.so. does that make any sense to you? Thanks, |
