    nVidia driver problem on Ubuntu 6.10

    Hello! At me the problem - after installation of the driver nVidia will not start X a server - the logfile of mistakes is applied. More precisely what or mistakes are absent, it simply dies in the end of loading. Videocard FX 5200, X-Server 7.1.1, Ubuntu 6.10, GDM.
    Help me please!

    i have the identical setup on my mythtv box (Ubuntu 6.10 and FX5200). i installed my driver with Envy (apt-get it and run as root) and it worked very well. i'll post my xorg.conf. i have modified my resolutions and enabled my TV-Out. Hope this helps!

    Code:
    # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
    # nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder3)  Wed Nov  1 19:47:17 PST 2006
    
    # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
    #
    # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
    # values from the debconf database.
    #
    # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
    # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
    #
    # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
    # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
    # package.

    # again, run the following command:
    #   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might help.
