Another thumbs up for kel...@nvnews.net 's custom EDID for the Dell
Inspiron 8200!
Using a lucid lynx 10.04 LTS, encountered black screen on boot after
activating the nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 96) from the
"hardware drivers" panel.
Resolved by downloading kelvin's custom EDID and adding the following to an
empty xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0"
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/nvnew.raw"
EndSection
Reboot, then install nvidia-96 from synaptic package manager, not from
"hardware drivers" panel.
Reboot, accelerated graphics driver works at 1600x1200. Added option lines
back into new xorg.conf to be sure.
