Hi, I have a system with a fixed hardware config over the last two years that I have kept current with testing through that time. Yesterday's update/dist-upgrade/reboot results in a blank screen when launching X. I swapped out the GTX285 for a GT520 and got identical results. I tried a different PCI-E slot with the same results. I switched to the nouveau drivers and get nearly the same behavior, except for a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. In each case, I can't switch to text consoles via Ctl+Alt+F1...F6. If I remove all the graphics drivers I get a successful reboot to text console prompt.
I also downloaded an older known working nvidia distribution from nvidia and built and installed that, with identical results to the current dkms package. All of these diagnostics were performed with the current 2.6.38-2-amd64 kernel. I then repeated the nvidia driver installation with a stable 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel and got the same results (GTSR). I uninstalled all my kvm adn verde modules and GTSR. I swapped monitors and GTSR. Took a shower and GTSR. I'd be very happy to hear about any potential solutions to this situation.
