I had the same problem. I installed Feisty Beta, yesterday, 27 March 2007 and all worked fine. Then I applied the updates (92 at the time) and rebooted. When gdm should have started I just got a blank screen.
I have the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200. I checked my version... # dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-nv Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-======================-======================-============================================================ ii xserver-xorg-video-nv 2.0.0-0ubuntu2 X.Org X server -- NV display driver I tried an apt-get update at 08:40 CUT today, 28 March 2008.
