Using an Nvidia GeForce GT 520.
Do I understand correctly that the system works fine until X starts
(e.g., if you use the "text" kernel command line option)?
Yes. As long as X doesn't start it seems rock solid.
Does X with
the fbdev driver work? (You can test by putting the following in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.)
Section "Device"
Identifier "geforce"
Driver "fbdev"
EndSection
Yes. This does work. BTW driver "vesa" hangs the same.
Does starting X with the nouveau driver work if you do not start a
GNOME session? (You can test by running "startx xterm" if the xinit
package is installed.)
Interesting. Still working on this one. startx was complaining something
about xorg.conf so I just renamed it, and then it started up. Pretty
frozen at this point, no keyboard, only reset button helps, but I do get
network response - there is ping, initial ssh response but nothing more,
can't actually log in.
Thanks for a clear report.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
