    Hello.

    Please read my post fully before you do anything else.

    I followed this http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux

    I might add though that this did not initially fix my problem of a black screen with a flashing cursor at top left. I also had NO xorg.conf installed on my system for some reason.
    I had to manually install nvidia-xconfig.

    After you install the 'nvidia-kernel-dkms' type the following commands into the terminal.

    $ aptitude install nvidia-xconfig

    Wait for this to finish and then type this.

    $ nvidia-xconfig

    You should see something about writing xorg.conf to the /etc/X11/ folder.
    Now follow the rest of the intructions on the URL above.
    Just a note on the last bit about cudaHashcat. This does not work for me so I ignored it, for now.

    Hopefully when you reboot your computer you should have a desktop show up.

    I hope this helps you out.

    Enter recovery mode when booting, and post the dmesg, please. Also make sure nouveau was blacklisted.

    I quote: "I install nvidia driver following this :

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)"


    Yes, indeed you need the headers for installing propietary drivers.

    I quote: sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub

    You could have edited the file with nano go to the line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" and add it. If line does not exist, add it.

    But when in grub menu, press "e" key and add "nouveau.modeset=0". If it works, make it permanent as detailed above.

    It keeps my attention that you are disabling modeset to nouveau driver? and then install nvidia?..I don't see any reason to do so, after all, nouveau will be blacklisted by nvidia installation (/etc/blacklist.d/"nvidia-nouveau-blacklist or something like that") and I do not see that nouveau is removed before installing propietary (rm noveau).

    There are some inconsistencies in your thread..Anyway, I suggest to post the dmesg and then see if nouveau was blacklisted or nvidia propietary was installed correctly.

    luck

    try to remove xorg.conf
    rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
    reboot
    I had the same problem and I solved it so then I installed or the backport drivers or the latest beta drivers version
    I just install the official nvidia site I had to recompile the kernel,while to have a fully functional installation of drivers in the repositories I had to add some packages in the source backport

    How do you know it is blacklisted?...Have you checked the /etc/modprobe.d and see if it is blacklisted...Do not take it for granted..

    sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' does not mean nouveau will be blacklisted...

    By the way, just as information: you have 2 ways to install propietary driver: download from nvidia page or from repos.
