I've remembered another strange thing. I have kernel 2.6.20-16-386 but I can't persuade the nvidia module to work at all with that. Hence I'm using kernel 2.6.20-15-386.
Is this a dup of 95956? I found Bug #108578 which looks somewhat similar. It pointed me to /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video, which was ## Make nvidia/nvidia_legacy and fglrx use /sbin/lrm-video to load #install fglrx /sbin/lrm-video fglrx $CMDLINE_OPTS #install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS #install nvidia_legacy /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_legacy $CMDLINE_OPTS #install nvidia_new /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_new $CMDLINE_OPTS # I uncommented all lines, but no luck - no apparent difference. At least 108578 taught me I just have to sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-386 to get it to work, not uninstall and reinstall the whole of xserver any more. -- nvidia-glx installation is broken after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130832 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
