I loaded ubuntu on my toshiba laptop a few days ago. The machine has an nvidia graphics card which I had to download the hardware drivers for. After 3 days while trying TUX racer, I set the graphics higher than the card could support. The machine locked up and when I rebooted I believe it was trying to start at the hi-res setting. I restarted using the install disk and got the machine running again, but.....now none of the nvidia drivers will support the card. I have reloaded from scratch 5 times and tried the supplied drivers and the ones from nvidia.com. So I now have a working machine but cannot use any hardware drivers. There is other strange behaviour, error messages are displayed but they only appear for a short amount of time and too fast to read...but mention the frequency is too high for the monitor (i think). Looks to me like either : when wiping the hard drive, its not a physical delete of everything (hence settings remain) or the nvidia drivers dont default to the lowest resolution
Hope this helps.
