Greetings,
Installed Debian 7.1.0 , amd64, seemed to go without any problems, but
after the boot it only shows a watch symbol, this can be moved by the
mouse but the keyboard and mouse clicks do nothing. Ctrl-Alt-F1 does
nothing.
Powered done and used rescue OS to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log . No
relevant errors or warnings. Did see a number of
[mi] EQ overflow
messages. Have Nvidia video chipset on Asus PRO50G notebook.
Had the same problem on Debian 6 install, no difference according to my
notes.
What fixed that was to modify /etc/default/grub file by changing line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.noaccel=1"
then run the relevant grub command to put changes to this file into effect.
Would this fix apply to Debian 7 as well ?
Strange that the bug hasn't been fixed. Linus T. has a point regarding
Nvidia ...
Good thing Debian 7 was installed to an external hard disk first, so the
production Debian 6 is unaffected, thought there might be problems with
the graphics.
Thanks for any information.
