I added some additional notes/comments in Bug #284492 that perhaps
should be mentioned here. Specifically:
========================================================================
The system I am trying to run this live cd on uses an integrated NVIDIA
GeForce 7050 PV chipset. I'm looking at my Xorg.0.log file and see:
(II) LoadModule: "nv"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so
(II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.5.0, module version = 2.1.10
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.1
and then a large list of NVIDIA chipsets, but nowhere in this large list
is "7050". Also, I do not see an entry for "7150" which is the chip that
Dolomite reports having when this bug was filed. I don't see any Geforce
70** or 71** series chips listed.
Maybe there's some problem with the installer trying to use the 'nv'
driver for those of us with a Geforce 70** or 71** video chip? Or maybe
we with 70** and 71** should not even be defaulting to the "nv" driver?
Is there a developer who can look into this more closely? It does look
like a very manual workaround is available (manually updating xorg.conf
during the install), but this was something that was working find in
8.04 and is now broken. I'll be happy to shut up as soon as someone asks
me to.
Also, apologies if I'm hijacking this bug report, but it does seem like
we're all related. Thanks...
==========================================================================
In this bug report Ahmad reports using a GeForce 7000M video card, and
Gabriel reports using a GeForce 7150M card. So really seems like
there's a problem between those of us with 70** and 71** series
cards/chips and the 'nv' driver used at install.
