Comment 11 for bug 578119

HP Pavilion tx1000, - Ubuntu 10.10 - Yes, this is still a problem. Stay away from the proprietary NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers. These drivers are not developed by the Ubuntu team and they are not guaranteed to work at all. I have attempted to use them under Ubuntu 10.04. and now with 10.10 with the same exact results. Another re-install was done to correct the issue of the driver. Below is my prior post on the matter of the nVidia driver.

HP Pavilion tx1000, Ubuntu 10.04. Initial install with the default graphic drivers worked fine both AC/DC, but when proprietary NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) were activated the system experienced blank screen booting from battery and when booting from AC the system would boot to a standard screen resolution with no acceleration. The conflict is simply the Nvidia proprietary drivers. Just do not activate it. I had to re-install Ubuntu to correct the graphics issue to return to default graphic drivers because deactivating the proprietary driver did not fix the problem. The system boots great from either AC/DC now, and the games and applications I have used on this system work very well so far using the default graphic drivers."
