(TOSHIBA TE2100) NVIDIA Graphic card driver can not be installed, I can install the Nvidia-glx,but it seems cannot work.However,the problem cannot find in the earlier version unbuntu 5.10 breeze.

Now the version is Dapper 6.06

I am facing this issue in Gutsy 7.10
When I enable the Ubuntu restricted driver for nVIDIA and reboot the screen becomes blank. The only way to recover is to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the driver back to default - nv.

The hardware on the Toshiba TE2100 is NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go]

I have even tried using the Envy package to install the nVIDIA drivers but same issue. I read somewhere in the forums that we should disable splash screens to make it work but I have not tried it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? If you still have a problem, please move the bug to "New" status. Otherwise, make it "Invalid" status.

Marking the bug as "Incomplete" as per guidelines.

Hi,
I have a Toshiba TE2100 - GeForce4 420 Go - and this is still an issue with Ubuntu 8.10. The screen is blank. I have seen in some forums that an external LCD monitor, attached to the laptop, displays (the login screen, etc.); I have been unable to confirm this though.

Changing status to "New" per recommendation of Jignesh Borad on 2008-11-20.

Hi Thanks for the update. But I no longer have this hardware ( it was stolen
! ) so will not be able to check if the issue has disappered in the latest
release.

Thanks again

Booting with nosplash appears to work around the issue if using the proprietary drivers.
