[Bug 758674] Re: nvidia-current 270.30 claims 8600M GT is not supported

 

Updated to 270.41.03 from the X Updates PPA, it still results in the same problem. Disabling vesafb also made no difference.
I’ve done some research myself and found this thread in the nv forums:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=134271
It suggests the pci addresses are somehow messed up. The suggested fix (# setpci -s 01:00.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xf2000000) makes me able to modprobe nvidia-current, but restarting gdm leaves me with no graphics at all (I was able to navigate the console and reboot blindly)

It was working perfectly for me with maverick (x64) (+ all updates) and
broke with natty (I moved to x86 this time).
