Is this fixed yet? I've been wasintg a huge amount of time with this bug. I have now got a PCI-Express Card and can finally actually boot my computer (and after only 2 months). BUT, now I get the screen going black every feww minutes or when I change windows. I tried to install the ATI

No joy. I tried both adding the 'vmalloc=256MB' to the boot line in Grub and the menu.lst. Neither seems to have helped enable the Nvidia drvr. I'm also noticing that when I show the restricted hardware options I don't see a a list of nvidia drivers ( 173, 180, etc ) anymore rather I just get a

Is this a cmd line option to something or a kernal/mod re-compile ? PS: I almost forgot the thank you for looking into this with me. After looking througth the log a third time a couple things do stand out, which is what I think you are commenting on though I have no idea on how to address at

It's a kernel parameter. The README entry I was referring to is this one: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.18.14/README/chapter-09.html#kva_exhaustion It appears that the message changed, but I believe this is the same problem. The RmInitAdaptor failed messages are a direct

Hello, thank you for the followup suggestion. I'm attaching the nvidia-bug-report.log. I don't see anything attracting my attention as to what might need to be corrected, but I'm no expert. Seem's like it ought to turn-on and not throw me back to console mode, but ... ? I've had some other Vista

Whenever you see the message, Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device, you need to check your kernel log to see why the kernel module couldn't be initialized. Your best bet is to reproduce the problem, run nvidia-bug-report.sh, and then attach the resulting log. ** Changed in:

I added the cx18 module to the blacklist (usually used for video capture cards like the Hauppage) and the problem is resolved for me. I remember doing this in 8.10, but it made no difference then. -- X: NVidia 8800 GT not being initialized correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352485 You

I've got a Hauppage video card. I didn't think Ubuntu was even aware of it. I don't use it with Ubuntu ( yet anyway, as I struggle to get basic OpenGL graphics working ). Any hints on how to check status of cx18 (??) and disable it to see if it makes any difference. I can resend logs, etc. but

Ok, another weekend, another try, and still no joy. I disabled the CD option in the update manager. At least Jockey didn't crash this time. However, the only option in hardware drivers this time was for nv - which appeared to default to nv-173. Jockey looked for drivers but didn't even offer
