Hello, and thank you for helping us improve ubuntu.

In order to help us resolve this bug, could you please include a screenshot of displayconfig, as well as your /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files.

The output of 'glxinfo' would also be helpful.

David

System:

Ubuntu 8.04, alpha5
Gnome 2.21.92
Kernel 2.6.24-10-generic

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz, at 2000.395 MHz.

Graphics card: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Worked fine until updates of feb 25 '08. Updates from yesterday, 27 feb '08. corrupted my graphics configuration. (I've restricted drivers enabled).
After booting it came up asking me the graphics -card. I selected the nVidia mentioned, but the usual test after that kept failing. I had to continue with low graphic mode. Once in the X menu, first there were no restricted drivers, but after today's updates there was. I enabled. Still I can't increase my screen resolution.
After I tried a wrong monitortype, my screen got meshed up. After rebooting I couln't read the screen anymore. I rebooted in rescue-mode.
trying displayconfig-gt it got empty on me too!

Also, note that this is on an out-of-the-box hardy with nothing changed except the nvidia drivers enabled for my 8800GTS512

I'll just add the xorg.conf too
