Hi Karol,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremy!

I've tried those packages:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-image-2.6.35-999-generic_2.6.35-999.201007211008_i386.deb

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-headers-2.6.35-999_2.6.35-999.201007211008_all.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-headers-2.6.35-999-generic_2.6.35-999.201007211008_i386.deb

and I've installed them succesfully through dpkg -i *.deb. Afrer installing nvidia drivers recompiled succesfully.

But after reboot kernel during booting in text mode several time screen blinks and after switching to graphics mode its probably set wrong graphics mode because all screen messed up and X session not apperared properly... :-( It's doesn't hang, I could switch to text mode and back (via Ctrl-Alt-F1 Ctrl-Alt-F7), but I can't login to the system.

On text consoles only cursor blinking (without login prompt).
