** Summary changed: - Karmic doesn't boot up on Studio XPS 1340 with Nvidia Hybrid graphics + 'nv' is selected when no xorg.conf is present even if it doesn't support the nvidia hardware

It is falling back to failsafe graphics mode. - This is because it's selecting the NV graphics driver rather than VESA. - The Studio XPS 1340's graphics cards are NOT supported by NV and are not - called out in the PCI ID files in /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci. + + This happens because the 'nv' driver has it's pci_match_id section set to match any nvidia device and does it's logic to abort in the probe routine. This approach causes troubles because the X server has already claimed the device by the time it's been matched, and so it's not able to free it after the probe routine fails. This prevents any fallback drivers (such as vesa or fbdev) from claiming the device. + + This problem has been known to manifest on mostly newer NVIDIA hardware + such as the 9400M in the Studio XPS 1340, or the Zotac ION. + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Jun 10 13:27:13 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Alpha i386 (20090609) NonfreeKernelModules: wl Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.13-1ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.30-8.9-generic RelatedPackageVersions: xserver-xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu21 libgl1-mesa-glx 7.4.1-1ubuntu1 libdrm2 2.4.11-0ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.99.1+git20090602.ec2fde7c-0ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.2-2ubuntu1 SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-video-nv Uname: Linux 2.6.30-8-generic i686 system: distro: Ubuntu architecture: i686kernel: 2.6.30-8-generic - - [lspci] - - - [lspci] -- 'nv' is selected when no xorg.conf is present even if it doesn't support the nvidia hardware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385658 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
