Title:
12.10: Black screen with GeForce FX 5200 card
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Having installed Ubuntu 12.10, a black screen now appears after logon
(only the cursor is visible). Everything (graphically) up until logon
is fine.
On my previous build (12.04), I was using Nvidia's drivers. As well,
this did not happen with the nouveau drivers either.
WORKAROUND: This seems to be a problem with my Nvidia FX5200 graphics
card as when I removed this and used the integrated graphics (Intel
82865G) instead, everything was fine.
WORKAROUND: Using the following kernel parameters gets me to the desktop but
the OS is very unresponsive:
