I Upgraded from 10.04 64 bit to 10.10 64 bit. The upgrade seemed to go OK.
On reboot, it re-booted said:
Starting Up...
the text changed to a different font then the screen went blank and the monitor power light flashed continually (as it does when no video is present).
The boot up proceeded and I heard the bing-bing of the login screen followed by the normal start up tune and eventually the skype start up noise. but still no sign of video.
Going to Safe Mode I could start up in low-res graphics. I tried the nvidia configuration utility but it said I did not seem to have the nvidia X utility running. I looked at /etc/X11 and there did not seem to be an xorg.conf file (but there were a number of xorg.conf backup files).
The only way I have been able to get high res graphics is to revert to the 173 version driver using System>Administration>Additional Drivers
I am using an nvidia 8400GS.
It seems quite a bit slower than the last nvidia driver.
Hope you can help,
Steve
