By the way when I said: Try a later version of the nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx-legacy). I meant to say Try a later version of the nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx-new). ** Summary changed: - Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage + [nvidia-glx] Nvidia binary driver causes progressive breakage

kripkenstein: Phew what a ride! Xorg changes can't affect your virtual terminals. If you could switch to a virtual terminal (and it wasn't corrupt/completely black) but not type then that suggests something more severe. If you were unable to type within X though then yes that could be a xorg.conf

kripkenstein (That refresh rate really does matter (especially on LCDs). It is almost always 60. Trust me on this one... ) (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0 Looks like the driver was unable to ask the monitor its capabilities. This could be down to driver bugs (m
