I tried to upgrade to this beta version 9742, but it says my card (GeForce 440 Go 64MB) is not supported, and I should move to "legacy" drivers.

Hence I wento to 9629, but I still get black windows.

Is this problem solved in any other driver release.

Thanks in advance.

Black screen or black window? Can you provide your xorg.conf. Thanks.

Black windows, screen is ok, only when window is big I get black inside. I've read previous post clamming this was a bug in beta driver 9625.

My xorg follows

Replace :

if [ "$RET" == "0" ]; then

With :

if [ "$RET" = "0" ]; then

in conftest.sh as talked about earlier in this thread....

I'm sorry I didn't realise it was the same error

Thanks loads for the help!

Folks, I'm closing this thread, as there are too many different & unrelated issues being discussed and its becoming difficult to follow any of them. Please start a new thread that is specific to any questions or issues you wish to discuss (and include an nvidia-bug-report.log if you need assistance). Thanks.

@Lithorus: note that the statement in question (with the '=' operator) is equivalent to a string comparison performed using `test`; dash's builtin doesn't understand the '==' operator, while GNU's `test` does.
