this is what got my system working again:
* ssh in from remote
* delete existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this step may not have been needed)
* download from nvidia.com the NVIDIA-Linux-*.run for your hardware and
copy it to your PC (I did it with a second PC and transfered via scp)
*
how can this bug possibly be marked "invalid"??
I had a system running just fine 9.04, answered "yes" to upgrade to
9.10, went through that process for awhile, rebooted, and now the only
way I can use my computer is ssh in from remote because the local
display is either flickering like mad or comp

I am invited now to upgrade to 9.10.
I first installed 9.10 and had to quit due to nvidia.
Then my son installed 9.4 and it is doing well.
¿Is it safe to accept the challenge upgrade?

When I upgraded to Karmic I noticed that the resolutions

So I wrote higher values into the Xorg.conf and rebooted.
After reboot I got the same flickering problems as the others.

My wife's computer had a problem with the NVIDIA driver not booting up
correctly when going from 9.04 to 9.10 less than a week before the
official release. To fix it, I just rebooted and chose the "fix it

I had a similar issue, but now have 9.10 running smoothly.
It seems that the upgrade process disables all proprietary drivers, but
does so without updating xorg.conf to use the default non-proprietary

Sounds like you probably have a proprietary driver compiled against
kernel version X, but have upgraded to kernel version Y. Because they
are closed source, the driver has to be rebuilt for a given kernel
version, which means you have to take care to match your kernel and
video driver versions, el
For me, the problem was as simple as booting with a different .31
kernel. For whatever reason, 2.16.31-14-386 was installed as the
default kernel, causing the problem as described above (error message:
"(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0), (EE) No
drivers available.").
