I stripped out all the nvidia related packages and set up the nouveau driver. It failed to enable any graphics at all. No graphical login, no data :-( My card is a Quadro 570 and it seems clear that the Nouveau driver doesn't. > Is this a regression?

I tried with the other kernel I have installed, 3.2.7 but it failed with both the nouveau driver and the NVIDIA driver. Not really a lot of data, but all I can provide at short notice. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
