Binary package hint: linux-restricte
I am currently using the 177 nvidia drivers with kernel 2.6.26.
I have an IBM thinkpad T61 laptop with an nVidia Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1) graphics card.
After upgrading to the current driver, what usually happens is
1. Gdm starts
2. I log in
3. Gnome works fine
4. When I log out, the laptop screen goes blank and stays blank.
When the screen goes blank
(a) I cannot switch to a VT using Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Alt-F1.
(b) The backlight is at its highest-setting - so the screen is "bright" black.
If I alternately press Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I can usually manage to make the computer restart.
I should also note that, while this usually happens only after logging out, it also happens occasionally before logging in, so that when GDM first starts, the screen is blank and the computer is unusable.
