[Bug 557744] Re: lucid beta 2 live shows black screen

 

Tust tried Ubuntu 10-04 Official release and the problem is still there.
Only way to boot the LiveCD to the desktop for me is to remove the
'quiet splash --' options and add 'nomodeset'.

Then I can install Ubuntu but on boot into the installed system still
shows a black screen, except of course when I add 'nomodeset' to the
command line in Grub.

Then I installed the new official driver from the Nvidia website
(version 195.36.24 Certified released 28-04-2010) and installed that
driver. Now when I boot normally, the screen goes black, but when I boot
with 'nomodeset' the Nvidia driver loads and works pretty good (no
unstable stuff in the few ours I used it).

Off topic: these new drivers support the NVS 3100m card. (It does not
mention this on the website, but it does in the docs).

Will this driver appear in the official repositories?
