Problem: Two installations made unusable by install of the Ubuntu tested
and recommended Nvidia drivers-96.

Lucid 10.04 Beta2
Albatron KX18 Pro-ll
Albatron-branded Nvidia card circa 2005 (mod unavail)
half-gig RAM
Lucid installed with encrypted partitions

The default install of Lucid and other Ubuntu distros have been nearly
flawless. Updated Nvidia drivers have been a recurring problem but safe-
upgrade w/Aptitude has never inserted a non-working driver. The
driver-96 install gave me a grossly magnified screen on boot-login to
crypt. Login successful. Once host partit's/root unencrypted, screen
goes black. Booting in recovery-mode w/Lucid or other CD allows net
access and apt functions. Tried purging and replacing all major
components of system, including tossing all Nvidia-named files and pkgs,
incl. nouveau and nv, then reinstalling default Nvidia stuff after
reboot. No change. My experience with both cmd-line and Linux is limited
but tried every trick I could muster. No go. Wiped the 2 HD's and did
reinstalls. A related problem I won't go into here is that new Nvidia
pkgs AND new -33 kernel both appear to infest Ubuntu machines with DRM.
note: I won't be able to respond to contributors in near future so big
thank-you in advance.
