Well, I have the generic kernel installed also, but did not see a boost when launching it ;) I'll try the nvidia drivers with the generic kernel also, I can't remember if I already tried...
You're indeed right about the hadware : I have a core 2 duo on a p5b motherboard. By the way, the graphic card is a Albatron Geforce 7300GT, and is also reported in windows as a 7600GS... weird. I didn't know until recently about the support options, but it seems very logical after all... anyway : I can still try the manual install for older nvidia drivers also : if this works, this will show that this is the latest drivers that are the problem, and I doubt anyone but Nvidia will be able to fix it... I'll report as soon as I try all of that :) P.S : I think that I'll reinstall from scratch one day or the other :'( I'm very unlucky with the upgrade... now I discovered that java causes my firefox to hang (and no matter what I try -sun-java5, sun-java6, gij plugin and so on- I can't get any applet loading...) -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
