Hi all,

I've tried 10.04 amd64 on Asus N71JV with GeForce GT 325M

Installation was ok. Afterwards also, but it occurred to me, that I can't change to text TTY with ctrl+alt+f1 and others. I've used the internal function to install nvidia drivers, and so I did, however X windows hasn't started after that.

In the Xorg.1.log I had
"(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so
(II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.6, module version = 2.3.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0
(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0
(EE) VESA: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I was desperated to keep my installation, so I've installed another 10.04 on another partition and diff-ed configuration files to remove nvidia drivers.

I've removed this files from etc:

Right now I can see that nvidia has 195.36.24 version available so after backup I will try to install that and let you know.

Switching to other terminal is actually working, but it isn't displaying anything, it just freeze current state of X session, but when i type username, enter, and password I am able to do anything - blindly.
However maybe somebody has an idea why the text terminals aren't working, and what to check?
which log file, etc...
