Hi people,

the installation of the nvidia-driver (current-version) ends up in a
black screen for me directly after reboot after having the driver
installed. When the reboot starts, the harddrive works (the motor is
running), but my screen tells me "no input-signal". So it seems to be
better, not to install this driver as long as this is not fixed, it
seems.

Or does someone here have a better idea?? I really need help with this
trouble.

Greetings
Linuxexperte
