I’d messed up my X config and then done this but missing out step #5. Now it works a treat. Thanks!

Hi, guys.

I followed the advice listed by swamytk because i found myself in the same situation (ubuntu not recognizing an NV card right away) and changed the driver to ‘vm’.

I can get to the login screen easily enough, but the screen goes white (WSOD) and the cursor remains just after the splash screen appears and the ubuntu noise plays.

I’m tempted to try Envy to see if it will solve the problem, but I’m new to the UNix environment and don’t know how to download stuff directly using console commands.

Any help would totally rock. Thanks.

You should try the ENVY script by Alberto Milone.

It is really awesome…plus it configures xorg.conf itself.
It is for Nvidia and Ati Cards.

Really good work.
