Devices section from Xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "CPD-420GS"
 #Option "DPMS"
 HorizSync 30-96
 VertRefresh 48-120
EndSection

I'm going to try to add the Modeline to my Xorg.conf and see if it will take them like it used to (before auto detection days). I would flag this as critical though as it is tricky and iirc this monitor worked (CPD-420GS) with edgy before (this Xorg.conf probably did, as it had the monitor device in it.)

The above did not work, any ideas?

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, add to the nvidia Devices section:
Option "UseEDID" "False"

Evan,

correct me if I wrong but I understand that you have a problem with the nvidia-glx drivers?
If so, note that these drivers are proprietary. Nobody can do anything about them but NVIDIA. I suggest that you contact directly NVIDIA about the issue.

Depends, not 100% sure if the bug is the nvidia driver. And while you

brunt of the blame if they ship the updated and bugged nvidia drivers.

The problem I get using Gutsy AMD64 2.6.22-13 nVidia 7300GS

In System>Preferences>Appearance, if you choose the Visual Effects tab and try say normal, then you are told that to run these you need the accelerated graphics driver for nvidia. If you choose Enable Driver, then you are advised that the driver will change on boot up.

However, at boot up, a set up screen appears. Two nVidia drivers are offered. nv and NVIDIA. The NVIDIA driver is the 'accelerated' one.
If you choose NVIDIA then continue you are returned to a terminal, that slowly blinks three times and takes you back to the graphics card set up window. You can repeat this cycle for as long as you like.

The set window is Ubuntu and Ubuntu should fix it, not say that it is the driver. nVidia drivers work, generally. But to stand a chance they need to be loaded!

Gutsy is showing great promise by the way, I wish you success. Bill's boots must be trembling by now!

Bob

Thank you for reporting this bug (and its solution).
Do you still experience your problems in Gutsy (or Hardy, the development version)? You can use a LiveCD to test it.

bwallum, does the fix (Option "UseEDID" "False" - see the description) fixed it for you? Otherwise it sounds like a different problem and should get reported, if you can reproduce it in Ubuntu Hardy.
