( I admit that I have found the wrong place to post this stuff. But I would like to add that "1. Nobody is using kubuntu" is just not true. )
My (mis-)understanding was that 10.04 fails to boot MBP5,1 = fails to boot the kernel. I used the option "nouveau.noaccel=1 blacklist=vga16fb" to boot latest Kubuntu and it worked. I thought it would be useful to let others know so I added this here (+ a lot more due to my excitement about the upcoming release). Anyway, IIUC, the bottom line is (besides the "blacklist=vga16fb" issue): "nouveau" provides no _stable_ 3D acceleration in its current state [*] and it wont be ready when Lucid comes out". The solution would be to load "nouveau" with the option "nouveau.noaccel=1" for the machines that wear the respective graphic card(s). Right? --- [*] "Any 3-D functionality that might exist is still unsupported.
