When I typed sudo sh nvidia-bug-report.sh and then entered my password I got: sh: Can't open nvidia-bug-report.sh
I then reactivated the Nvidia driver version 173, rebooted,and again got the black screen. After repairing the Xserver in recovery mode, I tried typing again: sudo sh nvidi-bug-report.sh, and again got sh: Can't open nvidia-bug-report.sh One thing that I noticed when I reactivated version 173 is that when I selected it, the bottom of the hardware driver screen states that a different version of the driver is in use. Is there any signifigance to that? I also tried again running nvidia-xconfig as root and editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf When I ran nvidia-xconfig, I got a message that there must be a driver line, but when used gedit to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf there was a driver line and the word "nvidia". In addition, the section you told me to delete in your first message was there: Section "Files" > > > > > > RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" > > > EndSection > > I deleted that section, and rebooted, and again got the black screen. > > What should I do now? > > On Sat, 2008-09-27 at 08:27 +0000, Alberto Milone wrote: > On Saturday 27 September 2008 01:02:29 Lynn Schock wrote: > > Thank you for your Email.
