Re: [Bug 657634] Re: [GeForce GT 330M] nvidia 260.19.06-0ubuntu1 update triggers black screen on boot for sony vaio F-series

 

I also downgraded - I downloaded the amd64 binaries from the above
link and then ran:

sudo dpkg -i nvidia-*.deb

Things look OK after rebooting. I have a Sony Vaio VPCF123FX.
