Hi,

I somewhere read something about the latest nvidia driver being broken for notebook chips. I’m not sure if this is correct or was just an issue with the beta drivers but especially as you mention that it worked again after changing to vesa drivers I thought this might be the case here.

I’m using nvidia drivers for my notebook as well but have not yet updated them because I read that it might cause problems. Are you, too, running a notebook? If so I’d be interested to hear if the latest nvidia drivers work ok for you.

Hello.

The last update broke my Xorg, the screen just goesn black and hangs there, CTRL+ALT+F1 (etc) doesn't do anything.

I'm using X86_64, *without* [testing].

The updated packages were

kernel26 nvidia xorg-server (and some others, less important)

If I change the driver in xorg.conf from nvidia to vesa X works again.

Anyone experienced the same thing?

Best regards, Luís Moreira.

Correct, I'm using a laptop with a NVIDIA GEFORCE GO 7300 graphics card. On Sat, 1 Aug 2009 15:33:33 -0700 Giovanni Scafora wrote:

Are you using nvidia-185.18.31-1?
