Of interest from your log file is: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe"
The vesa driver then gets loaded which is why you are only seeing low resolution. I triaged a bug report a little while ago from someone who had the same problem as you (bug 244798), and their problem was resolved by purging and then reinstalling the following packages in Synaptic: linux-restricted-modules-common, linux-restricted-modules-generic and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic However, I don't want you to do that straight away, in-case you lose some important information which might help solve this problem (if yours is the same problem, as I suspect it probably is). First of all, boot with your normal configuration (when you get the low resolution), and then do the following in a terminal: lsmod | grep nvidia This will tell you if the NVIDIA module is loaded. On my machine, I see this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 8858052 68 i2c_core 28544 3 eeprom,nvidia,i2c_nforce2 If it isn't loaded, then try loading it by doing the following: sudo modprobe nvidia If it fails, then please post the error message. If you can't load the NVIDIA module, then please can you do the following (placing all of the results in to a text file and attaching it to this bug report): md5sum /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.24-19-generic/*/* md5sum /lib/modules/2.6.25-19-generic/volatile/* md5sum /sbin/lrm-* Now try to purge and then re-install the packages listed above, to see if your problem goes away: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-restricted-modules-common linux- restricted-modules-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic sudo apt-get install linux-generic nvidia-glx-new Replace nvidia-glx-new with nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy, depending on which driver you use. You will now need to reboot, and, hopefully your NVIDIA driver loads correctly this time! -- Nvidia driver doesn't appear with 2.6.24-19 kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249926 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
