Again+Nvidia+xorg+dpkg recon

[himtuna]

i did rebooted in recovery mode
had to add " noapic" to the boot line

was presented with four options:
1) resume normal boot
2) dpkg
3) root console
4) xfix

tried one and the other option and at one option was presented with nvidia screens , then immediately invalid mode!
gosh I was happy i rebooted thinking that editing the xorg file might now help.
edited but no luck.

[himtuna]

here is what I need to do
terminal>sudo nvidia xconfig
and when ctrl+alt+backspace :):):): I see the nvidia screen and then :(:(: invalid mode.

Did you try dpkg..?
Then xfix...?

[himtuna]

yes is did first dpkg then xfix then normal boot.. got the message
"running in low..mod "
then at apps>terminal> sudo nvidia xconfig
restarted the what you call gdm via ctrl+alt+backspace
and got the nvidia screen then invalid mode.

now i am searching this forum for modes and modelines to add them to xorg manually.
