If you move the configuration file out of the way like this then it will boot ok

cd /etc/X11

sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.nv1conf

I Understand.

Login into the console by entering your username and password for your ubuntu machine.

after enter

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
Then

startx

Whats Your Graphics Card ?

If you want to put it back to how it was before you used my commands

do the opposite ....


cd /etc/X11

sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.nv1conf

All the command did was to move the xorg.conf out to see if it was the xorg.conf
that was causing problems .... I do this on mine as the flat screen TV will not pick up
from boot up with the Nvidia driver set to run from it.

So to put it back as it was at the beginning .... just do this below .....


cd /etc/X11

sudo mv xorgnv1.conf xorg.conf

Then its as it was to start with .....

The other commands that were given will not cause any problems either

startx basically starts the x server ( which gives you the graphic display )

and gdm .... is the ( gnome desktop manager ) ......

__________________________________________________ ____

The thing you are missing is a valid display mode .......

What else did you do before running

nvidia-xconfig

as all that that one command does is to create the xorg.conf

__________________________________________________ __________

So nothing has really changed unless you installed a new Nvidia Driver at
some point .......

You can always re-install the latest Nvidia driver - if your internet
connection is working ok ..... by doing the following.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo nvidia-xconfig

Then reboot your computer ......
