[xubuntu-users] CD Booting turns off monitor

[Adam Miller]

Oh, ok ... yeah, I read it wrong .... your problem might have something to
do with the fact that the 'nv' driver crashing X out.

Ctrl+Atl+F1 and login..... then do:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

uncomment (remove the '#' at the beginning of the line) for all lines that
say "universe" at the end of them and save (ctrl+o) then exit(ctrl+x)

now do: sudo aptitude update
then: sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx

now: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and change

   -

   Section "Device"
           Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV10DDR [GeForce 256 DDR]"
           Driver          "nv"
           BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
   EndSection

   Section "Device"
           Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV10DDR [GeForce 256 DDR]"
           Driver          "nvidia"
           BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
   EndSection



save (ctrl+o) and exti (ctrl+x) then do CTRL+ALT+F7 and CTRL+ALT+Backspace
(which will force kill X and restart it, you should get the gdm login screen

Hope this helps.
