Hello,
Dell Inspiron 8000 , Geforce2 Go
Intrepid Ibex
After the Intrepid load and update everything works fine until I activate the nVidia hardware drivers. The screen goes to black upon restart.
I've seen this problem around the forums and I found a suggestion:
add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/options
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2
After I did this my system hangs at the ubuntu splash screen. When I hit ctrl-alt-F1 I get a message that says:
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...
Again, many other people seem to have had this problem, but I get no login. I can restart, go to the grub menu and get to the root command line.
I have no idea what to do now, other than reinstall the OS and update. That would bring me back to where I started: How do I get my nVidia drivers working correctly (I would like to utilize the 3d environment and dual monitors).
Thanks for any help, as I am going slightly crazy down here in Florida....
