[Bug 607399] Re: Loading the nvidia driver causes kernel oops in maverick

 

I have the same problem, and I have tried for 2 days to get it working - I'm also using Geforce GT 230m. Does anyone have a clue on this? It seems like we have a whole series og nvidia laptops that can't currently use Ubuntu. When you install ubuntu on a laptop with that this videocard you run into not only one newbie killer but 2:
1. Blank screen because of the nouveau-kms module.
2. If you get past that and install the propriatary drivers to get 3D acceleration you run into a kernel oops.
I'm not a hardware-guy so I'm pretty lost when it comes to fix this.

BTW I had my laptop running with some tweaks on Lucid.
