I have the same problem, with a different error message sometimes: Failed to allocate primary surface: out of memory
I've tested the mainline daily current 2.6.24-999 kernel as suggested in bug 521260 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/521260 , but nvidia-current won't build on it. As a temporary workaround, I have the nvidia-current driver mostly working and booting without error, but I've had to change the grub gfxpayload to 640x480. X works properly, but my VTs look terrible now (and I spend a lot of time in VT). (Found this in post #4 by mrowth in the forum thread above) I'm marking this as confirmed. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Confirmed -- Occasionally boots into "low graphics mode" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562565 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
