Linux megasun 2.6.22-12-generic #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 18:11:30 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

And attached is the Xorg log.

And here is my xorg.conf file.

Note, I've tried picking my monitor from the Screens and Graphics screen (Dell E171fpb), I've tried picking generic LCD with the correct max resolution and I've tried using dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server and using Medium and Advanced to try to configure the nvidia to no avail.

Here are all the related xorg.conf files. Note there is no current xorg.conf file because the debug wiki suggested deleting it to see if X could autoconfigure. All attempts end up in the same place. It properly identifies the card and lets me select nvidia proprietary driver, but if I select it X won't start and I have to fall back to nv driver.

Fixed with the updates from last night.

I have the same problem.
I have latest release of gutsy for 10.10.2007
"Nvidia" argument in "Driver" function in my xorg.conf make my screen black. When i change it on "nv" - OS starts properly, but without 3D-acceleration.

i've tried to install driver using "System settings"-"Advanced"-"Restricted drivers". All i had was black screen.

In some reboot attempt i saw the sign, something like "Your kernel version and your NVidia driver version are different." Maybe, it will be useful information.

Just upgraded from Feisty do Gutsy (2.6.22-14).

When X tries to start, it just complains that it can't find kernel module "nvidia" (nvidia.ko) -- there is no such file in linux-restricted-modules, according to dpkg --listfiles

I tried reinstalling (apt-get install --reinstall) linux-restricted-modules -- to no effect -- and running nvidia's installation script -- it generated a module that always fails to load.

Just yesterday it was working fine on feisty :(

do you think this could be related ? Any ideas ?

ps.: my xorg.conf driver is set to "Nvidia". I don't want to use "nv" because it won't give me the 2560x1600 of the monitor i'm using. My card is a GTX8800, but i don't think it matters, as the problem is just that the nvidia.ko module isn't there ... (well, maybe it's generated by some other way i'm not aware of).

thx!!! :)
