Bryce thank you for your comment. I hadn't noticed it, but as it happens I just rebooted after doing:
sudo aptitude reinstall nvidia-current Now the video card is working again and the display is automatically using the correct resolution, although my display still isn't recognised. I did not install manual kernels, everything I've done since the dist- upgrade was apt-get update, apt-get upgrade except for the aptitude call I mention in this comment. I don't see any "make.log*" in /var/log. If there is something that I can do to help, just let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949330 Title: nVidia driver won't load anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/949330/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
