Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-restricte
When I enable the NVIDIA proprietary drivers (it gives me the options of 96/173/177, they all behave the same), on reboot, I get an error message "cannot detect graphic card nor monitor" and continues using vesa drivers at 800*600 (although "hardware drivers" states that the drivers are "enabled" and "in use", see screenshot). Selecting my graphic card and monitor does not fix the problem as it still loads with vesa drivers at 800*600. The only solution is to use the nv drivers and therefore I can not use compiz fusion. I have a geforce 7 series card, everything worked fine in Ubuntu 8.04.1.
What files are needed to help with this problem?

This was an issue with the nvidia-drivers not being compiled for the latest kernel and should be fixed now. Can you confirm?
