[Bug 660596] Re: Black screen after installing Nvidia drivers on 10.10

 

I installed 256.53 and had the same problem. Then I followed the @Rho_T
steps and changed grub, blacklist and the xorg.

But I didn't remove all my xorg.conf, only change the Device seccion adding
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0" 
but I didn't add 
    Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/nvidiaedid.bin"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
because I didn't know which PCI use and /etc/X11/nvidiaedid.bin was empty in my pc. When I restarted I have the related problem and my monitor shows a pretty black screen. Then I thought what I did and saw that haven't got any monitor named "DFP-0" and change this string to "Monitor0" (which is the only monitor I saw in xorg.conf), then start the kdm daemon and... chachan! It works!

This weekend I have no plans, so now I plan to try this with the current
driver to see if I can install it... or otherwise I break the machine
(usually I break my pc when I have no plans for a weeken)
