Hello,
I was using the NVidia proprietary driver (unofficial one-click install) under 13.2 and all was well until I did a regular software update. Now X hangs after the splash screen. The log follows. It seems it hangs on: NVIDIA(0): Setting mode “NULL”. Any help would be appreciated. I’d even downshift to the open source drivers if there’s a HOWTO on that. Thanks,
Brent
