[SOLVED] Nvidia Geforce 8400GS Rev.3 - Driver

[bitsnpcs]

Try the legacy driver, the bottom option, you won't be able to use any of the other drivers as they are for newer cards. Your card is classed as a legacy card. BTW, theres no guarantee this will work, more often than not, the open source driver, the one you are currently using, is the better choice for legacy cards.

I have change to this driver, bottom option now.
The Ubunutu 14.04 splash screens have now returned on shutdown, and on boot.
Quite a lot of text is appearing on them, I have tried using the Pause/Break key it has no effect so I am unable to read it fast enough to supply the text here.
Video playback, video goes blocky and then swirls the colours on the video and freezes. It did not crash VLC or the OS but I only gave it 15 seconds after it froze.
I will change it back to the open source driver for now.
