When I try to switch to the NVIDIA driver, my laptop screen goes black during boot-up and then it powers down. I wonder, what is the correct procedure for making the switch?



I'm running Lubuntu 18.04, on a MacBookAir3,1. It has the GeForce 320M (rev a2) graphics card.



Here's what I've tried:



  1. Open the "Software & Updates" application

  2. On the "additional drivers" tab, select NVIDIA driver v. 340.107

  3. Apply changes

  4. Reboot

  5. after reboot, the screen goes black and the computer powers off

  6. I had to boot to the command line, remove the NVIDIA driver and reinstall the noveau driver, to get things running again.

Are there different/better steps I could take instead?

                    How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
