Were you using smxi or sgfxi to get the nvidia drivers?james c wrote:Was able to get back into Nouveau and purge 319.xx....... really didn't have time to reinstall.
I despise booting to a blinking cursor........
Yeah, I already posted that the Nvidia Installer that beta2 comes with will install the incorrect driver for GeForce 6xxx/7xxx cards, the post is here: http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 38#p328938.james c wrote:Regret to report that the Nvidia Installer grabbed and installed the incorrect driver(319.xx instead of the correct 304.xx) and someone was too oblivious too notice in time to stop it.

There's a command in that post that will download an updated version of the installer.
The updated version should now detect and install the 304xx driver for 6xxx/7xxx cards.
The update also worked for Eadwine Rose with her GT 640 card which had previously been reported as unsupported.
Anticapitalista tried it, and it worked (or I should say still works) with his GeForce 8400 GS card.
I would appreciate it if you would try the updated installer, because no 6xxx/7xxx user has tried it yet. It can be tested in a Live session.
