Public bug reported: After killing X (using alt+print screen+k) I see either a blank or "corrupted" screen, see:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamiekitson/4479689371/ Switching TTY (using ctrl+alt+1,2,3,etc.) does not change the screen at all, but if I switch to 1 and type "startx" + enter (I still see no change on screen) restarts X. While X is running I can switch and use TTYs fine. I have seen suggestions that this bug could be due to nVidia driver issues, and I do indeed have an nVidia chip. ja...@jamie-laptop:~$ lspci | grep nVid 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1) ja...@jamie-laptop:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 195.36.15 Fri Mar 12 00:29:13 PST 2010 GCC version: gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: nvidia-glx-185 195.36.15-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-19.28-generic 2.6.32.10+drm33.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-19-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Apr 2 18:29:27 2010 DkmsStatus: nvidia-current, 195.36.15, 2.6.31-20-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 195.36.15, 2.6.32-17-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 195.36.15, 2.6.32-19-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 195.36.15, 2.6.32-18-generic, x86_64: installed MachineType: Dell Inc.
