Just upgraded to ubu 11.10 and getting problems of monitor out of sync.
The Nvidia driver seems to know what monitor I have and works for 'desktop' but switching users or going to a bash login (ctrl f1 etc) gives monitor problems. This is also on boot up so I'm a bit worried. I guess this isnt an X11 setting so any ideas?

My consoles (CTRL-F1 etc) stopped working from Ubuntu 11.10 onwards using nVidia drivers. When I say stopped working, I mean they're still there, I can login and type commands, I just don't see anything.

With 12.04, if X11 crashes and freezes the desktop, I sometimes get to see my consoles.

I've subscribed to the nVidia Ubuntu PPA to get the latest drivers which help with other problems I have with 12.04

I can't remember the exact chronology but didn't Ubuntu do a major upgrade to the latest X11 a few versions back? I think this was when my previously rock-solid system started playing up.

I'm using a PYE 6000 series nVidia card. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. Any suggestions anyone?

Martin

Its not a problem with the card and I dont think its x11 - try booting into rescue mode and that wont work either. Its something stupid a ubuntu-booting level.
I'll look and file a bug if necessary.
