[Bug 777407] [NEW] Xorg freeze after Natty update - NVIDIA driver

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have been running 10.04 and 10.10 without problems, but upgrading to
11.04 caused the X server to fail to start.  I tried several attempts to
re-install the kernel (causing recompile of the NVIDIA driver) with no
luck.   I was able to start X by using the VESA driver.   I was finally
able to downgrade to version 173 (System -> Administration -> Additional
Drivers), activating version 173, and copying a backed up verison of
xorg.conf using the 'nvida' dirver.
