Running kernel 2.6.27-10-generic, NVIDIA 177.82 drivers, GeForce 7300 SE card.

I’ve tried re-installing the drivers (no change) altering the xorg.conf file to match the max res (no input) nvidia-xconfig (error at startx) throwing the xorg.conf away and using the default one (no resolution)

Anybody got any ideas?
