Thank you for your bug report. Andy: Alas your card is not supported by the NVIDIA binary driver supplied with Feisty because it is too new. At the time of Feisty's release there was no binary driver that supported your card (see http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html for the list of newest cards supported by nvidia-glx-new in Feisty ).
You do not say if the opensource nv driver also has problems. If so this sounds like Bug #107831 . The usplash screen issue seems to be symptomatic of new NVIDIA cards. Does booting with the grub option vga=795 make any difference? If not does removing the splash option from grub make any difference? ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- ubuntu loading screen (usplash) does not display on Nvidia 8600gts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117023 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
