2007-01-30 21:17:56 Chris Burgan None: statusexplanation Ok I'm going to move this to the restricted modules package for Feisty as the nvidia proprietary drivers are located there. If your xorg.conf says "nv" then what you're looking at in synaptic is most likely the feisty version of the open source drivers. I can't really tell you more, if you want to try to reinstall them it might fix it. Other than that, by moving it here hopefully someone else can possibly come up with another suggestion.

2007-05-08 07:09:56 Loïc Martin description I have a Dell Latitude C840 with an nVidia graphics card (and the nVidia driver). I upgraded from Edgy to Feisty just yesterday (28 Jan 2007). A few minor problems with the upgrade came up and it seems like I managed to fix them OK. I rebooted and found that my X terminal is completely blank. I got the login-ready-sound and thought I would go on and enter my login name and password, then the harddrive started working and the login-sound sounded. Everything seem to work fine except I can't see a thing. On Edgy I had beryl installed after a few unsuccessful attempts (also tried compiz). I had it working well though. Perhaps this had something to do with it. Binary package hint: nvidia-glx I have a Dell Latitude C840 with an nVidia graphics card (and the nVidia driver).

Everything seem to work fine except I can't see a thing. Adding Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" to the Screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf solves the problem
