It would appear that the nv driver has been removed from Ubuntu 11.10. The immediate work around here would be to use the nouveau driver instead.
I would like to request, perhaps it should be a bug of its own, that we bring the nv driver back. When putting together a multi-monitor setup beyond 2 monitors, nothing else can take it's place. Well, not that I've seen. The nvidia or nouveau drivers can be coerced into running 3 monitors, but is significantly slower than mixing the nvidia with the nv driver in the xorg.conf. I realize this is a very special case, but we're only talking about a < 200k driver file here. Thankfully, I had a laptop still running 11.04 that I was able to copy the nv driver on over to my 11.10 desktop. Without that file, my 3 monitor setup was even slow in Fluxbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876974 Title: fail to load module nv To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/876974/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
