I upgraded my old laptop from edgy to feisty yesterday, I only use this laptop to view videos on my TV and the upgrade broke this completely, I cannot get my TV-out to work anymore using the nvidia glx drivers.
the graphics hardware is the GeForce4 420 Go

I guess I will have to try an older version of the nvidia driver to see if that fixes it...
