260.19.06 doesn't work on NVIDIA 320M

[nuovodna]

My Nvidia card (320m on sony VPCCW2S8E) doesn't work with 260.19.06 drivers. When i start the X server the system freeze on a black screen and i have to hard reset the machine.

System Tested:

Ubuntu 10.10 + 260.19.06

Fedora 14 + 260.19.06

Any solution?

xorg.conf

I attach the bug report

Perhaps my xorg.conf helps you with a LCD flat panel on Debian Sid will help.

under /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/nvidia

you should see:

nvidia.ko

Check the size and time stamp of installation [assuming it's there].

Using edid file doesnt sort any effects

[kwizart]

In the Fedora case:
If you have tried with F14 2.6.35.6-38 kernels or olders, that's unlikely that anyone succeeded in using the proprietary nvidia driver with that kernel.
That was because that kernel was still built with debug enabled, so the nvidia kernel module failed to build with the error:
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled'

This problem was solved when using kernel-2.6.35.6-39.fc14 and later, because they are not compiled with debug information.

If you follow carefully the instruction provided there, this should work without problem:

have you tried waiting for say 10 min
because my system starts after ages and uses 100% of one core
strange bug

[auxbuss]

In the Ubuntu 10.10 case: there have been a lot of issues. Easiest, for now, is to use the 256.53 from directly from nvidia.
