[nos-bbs] JNOS Ubuntu 10.04

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

Sorry, now I'm really confused.

What have NVIDIA drivers got to do with my question?

Thanks,
Michael

One of the problems in Ubuntu 10.04 is no TTY's using NAVIDIA drivers. 
Here is information on setting up FRAMEBUFFERS:

This improved a few things but still no tty's. I also followed this 
information and finally got TTY's working:

If the nvidia drivers don't allow you to have special effects, just try 
this :
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
..in the following file :
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
.. then :
update-initramfs -u .. in a terminal.
Download & install normally the nvidia proprietary drivers. Restart the 
X server . and everything should be OK!
