I can confirm I have this exact same problem. I have an Nvidia 9800GT 512MB. When I install the proprietary driver, I restart. Before it gets to the Ubuntu loading screen the screen goes completely black!
I have tried it at least 5 times and its still the same result. Getting that Nvidia driver working for me lately has become a real sore spot of Ubuntu. -- Black screen after installing Nvidia drivers on 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
