Public bug reported:
Release: karmic (squeeze/sid).
lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]
(rev b2)
On restart after upgrading from 9.04 (where card worked with 3D
acceleration) to 9.10, X failed to start. Was forced to log in from
command line. X started, but low resolution was forced.
Used Restricted Driver manager to enable nVidia driver (nvidia-glx-96
was only choice) and attempted shut down and reboot. There was no
improvement.
Installed nVidia glx-180 driver (sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180).
On reboot, was able to get generally normal graphics and resolution,
except that there was no 3D acceleration and Compiz would not function.
Attempted to use Restricted Driver manager again. The only choice was
the 96 driver.
On shut down and reboot, the problem recurred.
Reinstalled nVidia-glx-180. Currently have usable screen, but no 3D
acceleration or advanced desktop effects. Have not attempted nVidia-
glx-173 or nVidia-glx-71.
Attempting to use NVIDIA X Server Settings app reports that it does not
appear that NVIDIA X driver is installed.
