I haven't tried the nv driver, I will give it a go. I tried booting with the vga=795 option and it made no difference. I also tried removed the splash option and that worked, I can see it booting, although not very nice looking (it's all text). But that gets around the usplash problem temporarily.
Will report later on the open-source nv driver. -- 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
