Quoting Rafael Roquetto <rafaelroquetto [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com>:
Hello,
I purchased a HP Pavillion DV9580us notebook, which comes with an
nvidia geforce 8600m gs video card. The awful truth is: I can't get it
working on my ubuntu (actually kubuntu feisty).
I have tried everything you can imagine: stock drivers, generic
drivers, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-new, envy, and whatsoever, but nothing
seems to work.
When I tried envy/nvidia site latest drivers, besides not being up to
get X running, my console/screen gets stripped in three parts. I cant
really describe it, but looks like monitor frequency issues.
Has anyone ever undergone such situation?
Thanks a lot,
Rafael

Hello,
This Ubuntu bugreport seems to be relevant:

Note that at the bottom of the thread, there are links to some updated
test .debs for the nv driver which might solve your problem.
