Bug Description
I just tried to upgrade to jaunty beta. It failed and now X will not start at all.
X goes to a blank screen, system becomes totally unrepsonive and I cannot even change out to a text terminal.
So now I decide to test the 'live CD' (which I prob should have done before the upgrade but anyway), it does the same thing, unless I select 'safe graphics mode'
I using a nvidia 9600GT card (w/ two monitors), on 64-bit intel system.

To post a comment you must log in.
So looks like this is a bug with the 177 drivers.
X is loading but fails to display anything (i.e. all I get is a blank screen), I had a quick look through the Xorg log and there doesn't seem to be any errors. Which may explain why failsafe/low graphics mode does not kick in, since as far as the Xserver is concerned there are no problems with the graphics.
I have now upgraded to the 180 drivers and things seem to be working ok.
