Thanks for the bug report. You seem to be using the old (not recommended) Xorg graphics drivers called 'nouveau' and 'radeon'. They have been replaced by the newer driver 'modesetting'. So if you are writing a Xorg config file be sure to use the latter.
Please also note the nouveau kernel driver is often unreliable. Unfortunately your Nvidia GPU appears to be a little too old to be supported by the official proprietary Nvidia drivers so you don't have much choice. If you can disable the Nvidia GPU in your BIOS and use the Radeon instead then you might have more luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1942738 Title: XOrg / nouveau - hard lockups and does not draw to screen Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: New Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Changing display settings hard locks the machine (no reisub save). Installing nouveau-firmware allows changes to be made without hard lock ups but the screen using nouveau draws the mouse cursor and will launch apps on it but does not draw anything on screen. Dmesg is flooded with nouveau and XOrg failure messages.
