Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 8.10, Dell XPS 420 with PEG NVIDIA 8800GTX loads perfect with
default config but only with default config. Enabling the 177
recommended driver makes the GUI crash at reboot mentioning nvidia
device (o,o,o) not found. Tried to edit the xorg.conf in single user
text mode only, didn't work, tried to install .sh driver from NVIDIA
don't work either. When I look at the xorg.conf file it only lists
generic info like "configured device" or "configured monitor" etc.
nvidia settings is there but empty. I tried everything I found searching
about x server, nvidia, xorg.conf, nothing seems to make that graphics
card work as it was in 8.04.
