Bug Description
Ubuntu installed in legacy mode (efi not supported)
graphic card: Nvidia GF108 [GeForce GT 520]
Kernel: linux-image-
With default driver active [xserver-
On the other hand proprietary drivers do not work properly:
1) with nvidia-driver-390 the system locks before showing gdm login (bad chars shown) with last kernel;
2) with nvidia-driver-390 the screen is forced to 680x480 res using kernel linux-image-
3) with nvidia-340 the monitor switches off during boot and the boot does not continue;
Also tried to activate the nvidia ppa (ppa:graphics-
Googling around my guess either is for bugs in kernels from 4.15.0-23 or for signed modules not working without efi.
Thanks for your support!
