The garbage consists of scrambled remains of the last image shown by the graphics \
card: either it's the BIOS logo or the ubuntu splash window. Furthermore there are \
parts with black background and green or blue vertical stripes.

These are the results:
* driver "nv": I get this error message: "NV(0): Couldn't find the DDC routing table. \
                Mode setting will probably fail!"
* driver "nvidia", after installing the package "nvidia-glx": error: "NVIDIA(0): \
Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0.  Please see the COMMON \
PROBLEMS section in the README for additional information."  But I cannot find a \
                corresponding readme entry
* driver "nvidia", after installing the package "nvidia-glx-new": error: "NVIDIA(0): \
                The NVIDIA GPU at PCI 1:0:0 is not supported by the 169.12 NVIDIA \
                driver"
* driver "nvidia", after installing the package "nvidia-glx-legacy": error: "Failed \
to load module "glx" Failed to load module "nvidia"" I would say that I have to use \
one of the first two options.

I also downloaded the following two versions of the driver directly from the nvidia \
                web page:
* 173.14.05: To obtain this one I entered the model number of my gfx card (Quadro FX \
570) into the nvidia web interface. Nevertheless I got the error message that my GPU \
                is not supported
* 100.14.19: I downloaded this one after I did a google search for my gfx card. It \
shows the same problem as the second point above: "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA \
graphics device"

I think it's strange that no gfx driver is working - except the vga driver. There \
seems to be a more fundamental problem. Perhaps samething with the kernel (I'm using \
the ubuntu-kernel 2.6.24-17-generic)?
