Nouveau _is_ the card's driver.

Does that say I'm > using nv or vesa now? Both will not work correctly, and the newest versions of these drivers will refuse to load if nouveau is present. You need to install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau or xserver-xorg-video-fbdev, those are the only X drivers that work with the nouveau kernel module. > Whichever one I'm using doesn't seem to like the change. Does X even start? I suppose it doesn't if you only have the nv and vesa drivers. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
