[Bug 374472] Re: X won't start after installation of Nvidia drivers with two PCIe video cards

 

I have two 8800 GTX's (with three monitors attached) and I have exactly
the same problem. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and was prompted that I could
enable a proprietary driver for my NVidia card. I did, and now X11 is
broken! My system just boots to a text mode login prompt, and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log ends in "Fatal server error: no screens found". I'll
attach the log file and the output of lspci. Let me know if other
information would be helpful!

The tool which installs the binary driver should detect that there are
two cards installed and either (if that is a supported configuration)
configure X correctly, or (if it is not supported) not offer to install
the binary driver.

Also, where can I find instructions for reversing the situation so that
I can use my system again (without reinstalling it entirely)?
