I fixed the problem with my nvidia graphic card using the post #15. Thank you very much kcpr (mkasprzyk5) without your help I would not be albe to fix it.
Here how I fixed in details: Log out and go to the console: CTRL-ALT-F1 if (like me) you tried to install latest nvidia driver (nvidia-340 ...), you need to revert back with following commands: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers sudo apt-get purge nvidia* Then copy all xorg config files in a temporary dir: cd mkdir temp sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf* ./temp/ Then clean, update, upgrade and reboot the system: sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo reboot Go to the console: CTRL-ALT-F1 Install nvidia 331: sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime Copy the old xorg.conf made by nvidia back in its directory: sudo cp temp/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original /etc/X11/xorg.conf And edit it (I used vi, you may prefer nano): sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf To be as the following: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout" Screen 0 "nvidia" Inactive "intel" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "intel" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0" Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "intel" Device "intel" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "nvidia" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0" Option "ConstrainCursor" "off" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "nvidia" Device "nvidia" Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on" Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT" EndSection Eventually reboot the system: sudo reboot Now I have nvidia set as graphic card and the hardware acceleration works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362848 Title: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1362848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
