Hi All, I just ran into this bug as well in ubuntu 8.04
lspci -nn |grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV28GL [Quadro4 980 XGL] [10de:0288] (rev a1) no amount of wrangling with nv, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-new, or nvidia- glx-legacy would convince the system not to load the "vesa" driver. In the end I worked around this by downloading the linux32 driver from nvidia after removing all nvidia packages but the kernel module (trying to remove nvidia-kernel-common yields a frightening series of suggestions from apt-get). The driver I downloaded, that worked, was: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run -- [Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173418 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
