Got a problem with the Hardy Heron release that's freaking me out. I've searched both this forum and the internet since the release date but I can't find a cure anywhere...
As the subject says it's all about my Nvidia 7300 card. The software accelerated drivers work fine but when I install the real drivers the problem occurs. It doesen't matter how I install the drivers, it ends up with a black screen and the computer doesn't respond to any keyboard activity as ctrl-alt-f1 or something like that. The monitor doesn't turn off, it just doesn't show anything. Holding the power buttonis the only way to kill it.
The installation methods I've tried over and over again for more than a month is:
1. Ubuntus restricted drivers manager
2. Envy NG
3. Downloading the drivers from Nvidias website and install it manually
I've also tried these three methods from clean installations. I've reinstalled Ubuntu at least 5 times to fix this.
Can someone please help me find a solution? I dont want to go back to Gutsy. (It worked fine in Gutsy and all other releases since 5.10) And i want to play World of Warcraft again!
Some relevant information: I've got a Amd64 installation with a rt-kernel (Ubuntu Studio)
Edit: My /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't contain any erors. Everything seemes fine.
