[Bug 653875] [NEW] Installer disk display is shifted a few pixels on NVidia NF7 motherboard

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi-

I'm running "Try Ubuntu" off the first RC for Meerkat. (I got the same
results after a trial install of the beta.)

- The leftmost few pixels of the display show up on the far right of my screen.
- The bottom few pixels are cut off.
- The mouse points and clicks a few pixels below and to the left of where it appears to be.
- The first character of each status message during the textual boot process showed up on the far right of the screen, even before switching into graphics mode.

Sorry if I'm not describing it well; I suspect the nv driver isn't
playing well with the onboard video of my NVidia NF7 motherboard. I can
partly adjust my habits to compensate for the wrapping, but the mis-
targeting of the mouse makes it very hard to install and run Ubuntu.

Thanks for any help!
