    hi all.. i'm new to linux. i'm using ubuntu studio 8.10.

    my box spec:
    p4

    here is the nvidia-xconfig in xorg.conf which resulted blank monitor when it tries to display gdm and not only that, my keyboard also didn't work:

    therefore, i had to reset my box and enter recovery mode and choose xfix in order to be able to log into my account graphically.

    but it is obvious that my box is not using nvidia driver rather default linux graphic driver eventhough i have disabled "nv nvidia" in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common. here is the xorg.conf:
