Public bug reported:
Hi,
I upgraded from edgy to feisty : I had the latest nvidia drivers in edgy, and
after upgrade, I had a blank screen...
I can start in safe mode, I can init 3, but then I can't find back the console
when CTRL+ALT+F1. Still, I'm able to reboot blindly, and last time I tried I
sucessfully restored (blindly) the "nv only" xorg.conf
I tried the nvidia-glx , nvidia-glx-new drivers without sucess.
I tried the .run nvidia file without sucess (9755 driver version).
I tried having the Option "ConnectedMonitor" with "DFP" or "CRT" without
success even if when I use DFP it seems to me there are small lines showing
some artificial refresh rate (my LCD monitor is plugged on VGA, not DVI)...
I tried to add a modeline for my monitor, refresh rate, but this did not change
anything.
I noticed 2 things in the xorg.log.old file :
(II) LoadModule: "wfb"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module wfb
(II) UnloadModule: "wfb"
(EE) Failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist, 0)
But it seems to me this is not what's causing the problem, given other
bug reports.
and :
(--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce 7600 GS at PCI:1:0:0:
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0: 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: CRT-0

(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 1024
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI
(WW) NVIDIA(0): from CRT-0's EDID.
(==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75); computed from built-in default
You'll notice my card is detected as a nvidia 7600GS, whereas it is a
7300 GT... edgy was detecting a 7600 GS also but had no problem with the
nvidia drivers though.
Now details on my config :

... I hope you'll be able to help me debug this strange problem !
Can I provide you with more information (I'll post the xorg.conf and log asap)
Cheers
