I've had a similar problem with 9.10 on my desktop and NVIDIA cards, seemed like there was a problem installing the NVIDIA drivers. <div><br></div><div>From what I remember I had install the NVIDIA drivers in the console (from the repository) then run the nvidia-xconfig and make sure that the right drivers were in the xorg.conf</div>
<div><br></div><div>My last reinstall of 9.10 was over the weekend on the desktop, what I did this time around was save the xorg.conf file from my previous install, freshly reinstall 9.10, X started using the open source nvidia driver, I then installed the restricted driver and before the reboot dropped the previously saved xorg.conf file into /etc/X11.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have 2 monitors + TV connected to my Desktop, so amongst knowing that my previous xorg.conf was already working I don't have to run nvidia-settings and layout all my monitors again. </div><div><br>
</div><div>Hope this is of some help.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Gayr</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 11:16 AM, Michael Comperchio <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fazoogled@gmail.com">fazoogled@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ok, So I’m back to try Ubuntu again… I have a
Lenovo g550 laptop that I want to play Linux on. I could not install 9.10 from
the downloaded media. Ok, technically it did install, but when the system
reboots I get a blank screen. Apparantly X not working… I can
successfully install 9.04. I get X just fine. So, I got all the available
ugrades to 9.04, then decided to do the whole OS upgrade… and once again
no X!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Any Suggestions?</p>
