My Kubuntu 7.10 (AMD64) boots to blank screen after enabling the nvidia proprietary driver. How can I reset it to the standard linux OS driver? is there any way to force a boot to "Last known good configuration"? TIA for any suggestions...

Hello and MANY thanks, I was finally able to get this. The "gedit" program is NOT on this system. I did some looking for "info commands", and found that the editor is called "nano" on this version of kubuntu. I am not sure if this also is true on installations of ubuntu V7.10, but this finally got me started. THANK you again, I truly appreciate it.... MarcyDee

Thank you, and Hello Danleff, I actually merely downloaded (and after many times remembering that it might be risky, and NOT enabling) the NVidia proprietary driver, I believe from the kubuntu (ubuntu) repository. After I forgot my concerns for one short second, and "Enabled" it in the section controlling the non-free drivers, I lost it all when I rebooted. I do have a ubuntu bootable disk that I can use to look at the HDD directories, but the system will not let me change anything. It appears that, IF I could, - changing the xorg.conf.1 file back to xorg.conf would make this boot as it used to. The system will not allow me to do that, whether I boot to the ubuntu CD, or boot the kubuntu into recovery mode and use the terminal. The system has kubuntu V7.10 installed.
