We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that upstream believes this to be fixed in the latest
version. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the
latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
  Mythbuntu CD Installer doesn't install legacy nvidia drivers

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  One of my Myth frontend boxes contains a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 card
  that requires the 96.43.xx legacy drivers.

  An online update failed (video scrambled)  so I downloaded the ISO and
  burnt an install CD.

  The install seemed to go well. I selected the Nvidia driver for TV out
  (composite video and PAL B).

  On completion, the box started with no display apart from the PC
  splash screen at the beginning.

  I used safe mode to get a command prompt where I found that no nvidia
  drivers were installed.

  I fixed the problem by ssh into the box from another machine, running
  the graphical control centre and installing the drivers from there.

  It seems there's a bug in the installer that doesn't recognise legacy
  nvidia cards and install the correct drivers.
