Ok, the problem seems to be that nouveau gets loaded even though it's blacklisted. Seems like it somehow found it's way into the initrd image.
sudo rm /lib/modules/3.0.0-5-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko sudo update-initramfs -k $(uname -r) -u sudo shutdown -r now and the nvidia driver works again, but that's not much of a workaround... Also, someone please reassign this bug to whatever broke this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811701 Title: Nvidia driver unfunctional in oneiric since 2011-07-17 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/811701/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
