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
guys can go
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really shouldn't have to be using
backports on a system that has always worked. That doesn't solve the
problem.
I have been running 10.10 since it went beta and have solved plenty of
issues since then, as is expected, but this is bonkers.
A mainline aptitude
This is probably not an appropriate place for this but...
Reformatting sounds a bit drastic.
Have you tried booting without xorg.conf file?
In many cases, Xserver can start without xorg.conf file.
1. At Grub, Cntrl_alt+F1 to enter the terminal.
2. Log in and goto /etc/X11/:cd /etc/X11/
Someone over on the nvidia forums kindly suggested installing 256.53
from the nvidia repos. That has me up and running. I have no idea how
this affects further Ubuntu updates, however. The Additional drivers
tool still says (version current) [Recommended], which seems
meaningless now. Why is there
Good to hear that you are sorted (for now). Could you post the info about
256.53 and GeForce GT 330M in the general Ubuntu Forum? It would be useful for
those with similar set-up to yours.
Maverick Meerkat is still (until 10 Oct) a beta so there are likely to
be some issues such as this. As
The patronising straw man lecture is really not welcomed.

Nvidia 173 driver does not work with
173.14.28 does appear to work in my case with Maverick and Nvidia FX5700Ultra.
If the newer Nvidia -173 (173.14.28) is not ready for 10.10 launch, it
would minimise downtime and inconvenience for those with legacy Nvidia

* New upstream release:
- Add support for X.Org xserver 1.9 (LP: #626918).
* debian/rules:
- Switch to new xsfbs
A regular aptitude upgrade installed the updated nvida-173-modaliases
and has made my maverick machine useless. I get a black screen after
starting X. No gdm/login appears. /var/log/Xorg.0.log indicates no
problems at all; it reaches enabled.

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
working for me:
* make sure you have a (previously working) /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
* change the line, in the xorg.conf file, that loads the nvidia
Hmm Well, X is 1.9 and nouveau is reporting that it is built for
1.8.99.905 (5 Aug, as it happens).
Then it loops through a bunch of drmOpenMinor calls, all of which return
-1 (geek for fail, I suspect).
Then finally reports
[drm] failed to open device
No devices detected.
Fatal server
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
