"No signal" on the screen after startx,GeForce 8500 GT

[CrazyHorse_]

There was videokard GeForce 7300 GT, worked well with nvidia proprietary drivers.
Has changed to GeForce 8500 GT.
After starx on the monitor the inscription - no signal.
The keyboard does not work.
I change the driver on vesa, all works.
In windows xp works well.
version driver 169.12

Remove the modeline in your xorg.conf,
add different modes, provide a Xorg log afterwards.

Probably nvidia sees no mode for the given resolution,
so you might have to override some EDID information.

Even if I run startx - --logverbose 6, my Xorg log empty
Without modeline and different modes, the problem has remained

[NvFuchs]

Maybe a different logfile is used.
startx should print some informations on console as well.

Without this information it is hard to solve the bug,
as on module load everything seems fine according to the bug report.
(Well, there was a conflict because you probably installed
a driver by hand, but it seems you solved this yesterday)

I have not time to see informations in console (( very quickly I see blank screen with " no signal "

The driver put manually and envy, but the problem was not solved

I am having a the same thing happen on my 8800GT, on Ubuntu Hardy, tried envy, apt, and manual doing a full uninstall after each. No logs here either, even when piping to a specified file.
