10.10 Beta NVIDIA update broke Sony Vaio VPCF136FM
I have been using 10.10 beta on my new Sony Vaio VPCF136FM configured as follows:
Processor: i7-740QM / 1.73 GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU
Display: 16.4" / 1600 x 900
Memory: 6 GB
Ubuntu can't sense my display to set up native x-server properly - it defaults to 800x600.
I installed the NVIDIA driver when I originally installed 10.10 beta. Worked perfectly.
Yesterdays (10/04/10) NVIDIA driver update broke my system - won't boot into desktop. I had to reboot into safe mode and remove the new NVIDIA driver. I am now only able to run in safe mode 800x600 because Ubuntu can't detect my display.
I have tried reinstalled the NVIDIA driver and no-joy. I just have to remove it again to regain use of my system.
How can I install the previous NVIDIA driver. Only the new one, which doesn't work is available to me to enable in the "Additional Drivers" application.
