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.
