Running low graphics after upgrading the kernel.

[shinystar]

Hi,

I've upgrade my Linux(UBUNTU) kernel from 2.6.24-26 to 2.6.33.2.
After reboot It shows a message running low graphics and after that I've found no NVIDIA modules.

I tried sudo apt-get install nviida (and also nviida-current)

But it says no nvidia package found.

I also tried to enable the nvidia hardware driver from system->administration->hardware driver.

While enabling the driver I am getting strips on the screen and PC hangs.

Could anyone of you please let me know what should I do.

Thanks.

Boot up up from LiveCD of any Linux distro and mount / partition of Ubuntu. Check the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Does it list Driver "nvidia" in Video Card section?


Rename existing xorg.conf file and create new. Copy following contents in new xorg.conf file :

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Configured Video Device"
       Driver    "vesa"  
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier "Configured Monitor"
         HorizSync 31.5 - 70.0
         VertRefresh 50 - 160
 EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
             Depth 24
             Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" 
        EndSubsection
EndSection
