Nvidia legasy-card users having black screen with latest ISO

Postby batvink » Sat Dec 22, 2012 22:17

When downloading latest ISO's, they will not start the WM/DE, but rather present you with a black screen.
There is nothing wrong with the ISO's, it is because "nvidia-drivers-304.64" or higher is installed by default.
You can bypass that by hitting ctrl-alt-f1, remove the nvidia-drivers, (nouveau is installed too)
and restart xdm:
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/xdm restart

For a overall view of which cards support what driver., please see:
