Package: nvidia-settings Version: 195.36.24-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch I experience the same bug that is described in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/539196 I'm working on a freshly installed Debian Squeeze, with an nVidia board detected by lspci as: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX 5700LE] (rev a1) I'm using the nvidia legacy driver 173xx. The patch proposed on Launchpad solves the issue for me and is very easy to apply. I'm attaching a copy of the patch for your convenience. Thanks, Giovanni. -- Giovanni Mascellani <[email protected]> Pisa, Italy Web: http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~mascellani Jabber: [email protected] / [email protected]
Description: Do not fail if the driver doesn't support NV_CTRL_NO_SCANOUT NV_CTRL_NO_SCANOUT is not supported by legacy drivers such as series 173 and 96. Pretending that the property exists and is set to false prevents nvidia-settings from breaking compatibility with these drivers.
