I recently messed around with Karmic trying to get the newest nVidia drivers installed. However, this broke TV-Out on my system and I decided to then take the step and move to Sidux considering they had the latest drivers in the repo’s instead of having to do the binary install from downloaded drivers. My situation did not change however, whenever I added TVStandard to the screen options the machine would freeze with a black screen.
Today I’m a bit bored at work so I decided to take some time to Google this problem. At first I was almost ready to reinstall Ubuntu again since things just worked there with the 185 drivers but I didn’t want to give up so easy. I then stumbled upon this thread at nvnews.net. This describes my problem exactly considering I am running an nVidia Geforce 7600GS in the machine. I can’t verify that this works, but I thought I’d share it with everyone already.
