[Bug 578119] Re: Boot on battery power ends up with black screen [HP tx1000]

[Michael K, Ham]

HP Pavilion tx1000, - Ubuntu 10.10 - Yes, this is still a problem.  Stay
away from the proprietary NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers.  These
drivers are not developed by the Ubuntu team and they are not guaranteed
to work at all.  I have attempted to use them under Ubuntu 10.04. and
now with 10.10 with the same exact results.  Another re-install was done
to correct the issue of the driver.  Below is my prior post on the
matter of the nVidia driver.

HP Pavilion tx1000, Ubuntu 10.04. Initial install with the default
graphic drivers worked fine both AC/DC, but when proprietary NVIDIA
accelerated graphics driver (version 173) were activated the system
experienced blank screen booting from battery and when booting from AC
the system would boot to a standard screen resolution with no
acceleration. The conflict is simply the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
Just do not activate it. I had to re-install Ubuntu to correct the
graphics issue to return to default graphic drivers because deactivating
the proprietary driver did not fix the problem. The system boots great
from either AC/DC now, and the games and applications I have used on
this system work very well so far using the default graphic drivers."
