Comment 40 for bug 657736

I have the same issue on my toshiba qosmio x505-q720. I'm attempting to install Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 64-bit version and during the Demo boot into Ubuntu my screen gets weird blocks of non comprehendable output. Can I do safe video mode installation and safe mode boot and then run the update driver from the Nvidia website? I can see Nvidia has a driver update for my card specifically for Linux, however, I can't get that far due the issue at hand right now.

Any input from the community would be appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bardia
