I was experiencing Problem 7. Your Solution works. However I did find that there were to scripts that could be downloaded from Nvidia (from the link you provided). I only had to run the first (smaller file size) one of them. I also noticed that while running the script that I downloaded from Nvidia, it mentioned that I did not have something and it needed to download it, which it did. The outcome was all positive, everything worked. I just needed to add the 1920 x 1200 resolution to my mode line in xorg.conf and then restart GDM once again. Many thinks for documenting your knowledge and keeping it real.

i had that issue with kubuntu 8.10 and i think what workded for me was starting in safe and redo x server to default and install 177 through the program search/install program and reboot without starting x and it seemed to fix my issue.

I’m installing the UE 2.1 (with Ubuntu 8.10) from a live DVD. When I run the live DVD, I have to go to the hardware drivers and download the Nvidia ver. 177 and install it and then restart x (ctrl, alt, backspace). After I installed to my hard drive, everything went smooth until I was instructed to reboot. You know what happened. X won’t start now. It says there’s no modual nvidia. No nvidia driver. How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Chris

Is there anyway to get a version of Ubuntu that supports Nvidia cards by default? That would be pretty impressive!

Regarding ‘solutions’ to the AMD64/NVidia problem…

I have one,that really solves the problem (after appropriate downloads are made…)

and, is seemingly surefire simple (I read and tried many of the solutions offered… This one (only) worked with no real problems…

1) install Ultramix
2) select ‘Enfironments’
3) select ‘XFCE’

Reboot into XFCE and download/install AMD64 NVIDIA drivers…

Has worked EVERYTIME for me… And I have been installing/re-installing as I have been testing Ubuntu ‘tweaks’ and blow-ups. (I can, have the time, so… it happens.)

Have a Stable system with two options (Ubuntu or XFCE) on TWO partitions (One with Ultamtix Extreme… Which I used same trick to install the same ‘non-working’ drivers.

Thanks for all the helpful information regarding this issue. Just wanted to add my experience for anyone searching for something similar. Fresh install of Intrepid, 8.10, on a brand new Dell XPS 1340 laptop dual booting with Vista, and with updates applied. I activated nVidia linux-restricted-modules (177) and then experienced the boot to a command prompt.

I booted to the recovery console and tried the “fix X” option which restored a default xorg.conf file. After doing an lspci discovered that the second of the two cards nVidia cards listsed is the 9400G, which for this laptop is the main display, and it was on bus “3:0:0″.

So to restore the nvidia specific portions of the xorg.conf file and configure it to use the right card of the SLI setup I did this:

nvidia-xconfig

… and added the 3:0:0 line to the Device section of the xorg.conf file:

Section “Device”
Identifier “Device0″
Driver “nvidia”
VendorName “NVIDIA Corporation”
BusID “3:0:0?
EndSection

On the next boot everything came up fine and the nVidia drivers even went to the native 1200×800
