[Bug 596402] Re: Nouveau driver works horrible on Nvidia Geforce2

 

Hi,

After testing again today on lucid with xorg-edgers ppa I'm now getting
something similar to this (one step backwards):
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting#Xorgfailstostartwith.22.28EE.29.5Bdrm.5Dfailedtoopendevice.22
I believe it's because my nouveau driver only works on 2.6.35 kernels,
so I tried lucid with kernel 2.6.35-2-generic-pae and kernel 2.6.35-7
-generic-pae but not one of the two booted up. Not even in recovery
mode. I also tried xubuntu mavrick alpha2 desktop, same problem.

I want to download mavrick daily live, but at this point in time I only
think it's a waste of my rather expensive internet cap. I'll try and do
a clean install of lucid tomorrow. Any other things I test or try to get
some debug info? demsg /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/kern.log nothing
seems to help as the system locks up completely before and info is
logged.

PS: There was no "splash" argument in grub only "quiet" I removed it, did not help. I never really see plymouth anyhow.
PPS: If only this pc supported usb-boot... :-/

Regards,
Willem
