[Bug 449202] [NEW] Blank screen on bootup, karmic, nvidia card

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

On latest version of Karmic, booting up will only take me as far as to
show the glowing Ubuntu logo, then it'll move to a completely blank
screen and do nothing.

A semi-workaround is to rename xorg.conf, this allows Ubuntu to boot,
but because NVidia generates its own custom xorg.conf file, I lose 3D
support and dual-monitor support. Regenerating a new xorg with nvidia-
xconfig  takes me back to an un-bootable system. I have a GTX260 NVidia
card.
