[Solved!] video issues/envy ng

[StarWolf]

My video cards fan died and my card is barley alive. so i told envy ng to unselect the current driver it had and then choose no other drivers . so now when i boot in kubuntu i have a black screen . how do i get kubuntu to auto config the driver for when i get my new card ? Id hate to have to reinstall for such a simple issue ?

Re: video issues/envy ng

Did you try booting into text mode and running

sudo envyng -t

to get back to your envy options?

Or there is a reconfigure xserver command I think... someone will be here shortly I'm sure to get you back up and running with the nv or vesa driver...

Just shut down the system -- if you can't see the screen, use Alt-SysRq RSEIUB and hit the power switch when you see the BIOS screen as it restarts.

Install the new card, power it on and on the boot menu choose Recovery Console. When it comes up, choose Fix X and it will set up either VESA or the "nv" driver. Then you can reboot normally into X.

Then you can install EnvyNG and use that to install the proprietary driver.

The app for kde4 is envyng-qt... but anyhow, there is a meta package for the kde desktop, I think it is kde-desktop or perhaps kde4-desktop...
