I tried the fix above, but it didn't work on my M90. I assume the problem described here is the same as the one mentioned in the forums with the title: "nVidia 177 driver does this...". There is a picture linked to the post that shows what happens to my laptop. -- laptop video output garbage http

Hmm...I don't have that file in /etc/modprobe.d. I have the file options listed above and this is the one I entered the option line. Are you recommending that I create the file nvidia-kernel-nkc or are you saying that it should be there now? Thanks for your response and any help from here on. --

I found this from Kraptor in another thread (164589) dealing with flicker: 1) The file nvidia-kernel-nck: - You use the 169.12 driver, so it os the nvidia-new driver, it must be specified correctly. - You must tell the driver it is a mobile card, if not the PerfLevelSrc may not work.

More info, if it helps: -I used to experience the "blink" problem addressed in 164589. This no longer happens, so the setting certainly helped with that. -When using my computer at work, where I use two external monitors, I have never had the screen garbage problem. It only happens when I am at h

Thanks. I have a huge amount of empty space on my hard drive. It seems that the /boot folder is too full, however. Is there an easy way to clean up the old stuff here, or should I just delete most of the older files? Thanks for the help, Geoff On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 9:33 AM, Charlie Kravetz wrot
