As of yesterday, I replaced my 7950GT with a 9800GTX. I first tried booting up without any change to xorg.conf but that didn't work... After several tries I went back to the 177 drivers and finally got X to work again.
When I did some investigation, I came across the same error as above. This was easily fixed by adding the line BusID "PCI:1:0:0" in xorg.conf, but it didn't solve the rest of the problem. What I mean: X still does not start up, but goes a little further then before. I can see some scrambled blocks on my screen when it tries to start up X, and then it stops my system without any error whatsoever I cannot log in through ssh anymore from an other machine, which points me in the direction of a kernel panic like situation. Any suggestions on how to proceed from here??? my system specs: C2D 6600 with 2GB RAM 965P Intel chipset 9800GTX with 1GB RAM OS: 8.10 64bit kernel: 2.6.27-12-generic (also tried under 2.6.27-11-generic and 2.6.27-10-generic) used drivers: 180.11 (intrepid) -- Xorg fails to start ( Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
