- Xorg freeze with Nvidia 960m on Dell Inspiron 15-7559 + [Inspiron 15 7000 Series 7559] Display freezes when booting with nouveau |
description: | updated |
I can never boot with the nvidia drivers. For the latest nvidia-367.75 in the repo, neither. This time, after the boot info shows up, it just leaved a blinking cursor for a while and then the screen completely went black.
Without the nvidia driver, it cannot shutdown right. But looks like the problem is getting better now, I sometimes don't need to press the powerbutton to shutdown.
This looks like the gtx 960m problem since I found other users not only on dell 7559 have the problem.
Anyway, hope this problem can be fix soon.
