[Bug 748320] Re: Blank screen (no GUI) after installation of NVidia proprietary driver on Sony Vaio Z119GS
As far as the failure itself, I notice this system appears to be hybrid
graphics; please note that hybrid graphics with the -nvidia driver is
not yet a supported feature. C.f.:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-270.18-driver.html
"""
Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.
