Additional information to #56. Note that the start up applications have been disabled (somewhere i read something on problems when switching focus, and thought it was better to not have too many windows). Still nothing, meaning one color plus mouse pointer. The size of the mouse pointer indicates by the way that the screen is running in one of the higher resolutions. When shutting down, the background image si visible for a very short period, that also indicates that the nvidia driver is at least doing something. ** Attachment added: "x start log file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1068601/+attachment/3579939/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068601 Title: 12.10: Black screen with GeForce FX 5200 card Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Having installed Ubuntu 12.10, a black screen now appears after logon (only the cursor is visible).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1068601] Re: 12.10: Black screen with GeForce FX 5200 card
I am experiencing the same problem. Using an p4p800 motherboard with AGP nvidia card, FX5200. I can use nouveau, but that is far to slow and doesn't give good resolution (24 inch philips diaply 1920 * 1200). On ubuntu 12.04 i used nvidia driver 173 with modified xorg.conf which resutled in good performance at 1920 * 1200. After upgrade to 12.10 the screen shows one color and only the mouse pointer. When moving slowly on the screen i can probe for edges of windows, the resize handle becomes visible. When using that to guess where the exit cross of apps is, i could close the music player. On 12.04 I had some start up applications (thunderbird, rhtyhmbox). They really start, and by guessing where the cross is i could close rhyhm player. Just don't see their windows. The problem is very good reproducable on my machine (some people report that it starts and stops with unknown triggers). The screen shows one color, could be any. At some moments it even changes to some other color. Seems not to be related to user actions. There seems not to be a scheme in the change or colors. I will re-install the nvidia and collect some logs, add them later. Now the system is set to nouveau.

Hi Christopher I also have a tablet (for testing) that I dabble with using Ubuntu (usually betas then stable releases). This is also showing a similar problem but this time, the screen is not black but shows only the wallpaper after logon. I have tried the latest 3.7 rc2 kernel and the screen goes really weird (hard to explain but I'll try and get a screenshot). I have also tried a kernel similar to 12.04's (3.2.0-23) but this makes no difference either.

Due to how this issue is not reproducible in the Precise release with nouveau or nvidia drivers, but testing with the Precise release kernel yielded problematic results, I opened up a task for xserver-xorg-video- nouveau. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068601 Title: 12.10: Black screen with GeForce FX 5200 card Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Having installed Ubuntu 12.10, a black screen now appears after logon (only the cursor is visible).
