Sorry guys - didn't see the above notes until now.
In fact the problem was fixed some weeks ago. I saw that an updated
version of the driver was available and tried it in 10.10 and it was
working again. I have been using it in Natty since beta 2.
Thanks again for your excellent service!

FYI
- installed kubuntu 10.10 from scratch on the same notebook
- Used Jockey to activate the nvidia-173 driver.
- (Got a few delays and strange messages along the way, but...)
- found that nvidia 173 works fine.
The problem is therefore most likely to be an incompatibility or a
setting that

Hi Guys,
It's always good to help improve communication, understanding and
cooperation - anytime and anywhere...
FWIW, I see many people dropping Windows (even though it's a very solid
OS these days,) and moving to MACs and PCs running Ubuntu. In fact
Ubuntu is now a mainstream operating system
Hi Folks, I'm currently having this problem following an upgrade from
10.04 to 10.10beta. The latest update of nvidia-173 in the beta repos,
173.14.28-0ubuntu1, writes the following into the log file:

Hi Folks, I tried the new nvidia_173 package and would like to confirm,
as noted previously, that the miEmptyData symbol not found bug has been
resolved. X now loads the driver - but the driver reports that it can't
find the screen (on my notebook with a G-Force FX card.) I think you

Hey Guys, Thanks for the links (in another bug?) about how to downgrade

the general community. You guys are GREAT!!

Nvidia 173 driver does not work with
Hi Guys, I'm really loving 10.10 and thank you again for all your great
work!
While waiting for the new fix to arrive here's a work-around that's

* make sure you have a (previously working) /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
* change the line, in the xorg.conf file, that loads the nvidia
In case it helps:
* The 10.04 backports-ppa code was working perfectly for me - no
problems worth mentioning. My system was up-to-date with the latest
kernel and available packages. I only had trouble after the upgrade to
10.10 (ie: do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f kde -d) of a couple of
days ago
