[Dapper] : Pb with nvidia on Laptop Toshiba solved

[afmdg]

With the ubuntuforums, I find this link

http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper

There is a how-to for GeForce 4 420.
I had all options in xorg.conf but with this versions of drivers, I have to add a line in /etc/modprobe.d/options
to solve this problems. 
 

15) If you own a GeForce4 420 Go you should follow these steps:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options

Add this option at the end of the file:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=1

CTRL+O to save CTRL+X to exit

Edit your xorg.conf:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

get to the "Section Device" and add the following options

Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Option "IgnoreEdidFreqs" "true"
Option "GenerateRTList" "0"
Option "OverridePolarity" "1"
