Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
from #u+1:
(01:53:37 PM) tormod: CarlFK: the bug is that nv is chosen even if it doesn't
support the card
(01:58:07 PM) tormod: CarlFK: so it can also be a bug in nv, that it says "I
can" but it can't
Boot Hardy 8.04.1 live cd, get "ubuntu is running in low graphics
mode." Installed to HD, reboot, same thing. System, Admin, Hardware
Drivers, nvidia, still "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode."
Installed intrepid, same thing. (live cd, installed to hd, installed
nvidia - allways "u in low res" then 800x600)
to debug this: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg genned a sparse
xorg.conf (attached xorg.conf.1), ran startx, server picks nv, but
then fails - attached Xorg.0.log.1 shows
(WW) NV: Ignoring unsupported device 0x10de0531 (GeForce 7150M) at
00@00:12:0
Same thing if I add Driver "nv" (attached xorg.conf.2, Xorg.0.log.2)
If I use Driver "nvidia" (attached xorg.conf.3, Xorg.0.log.3) box
comes up in 1280x800.
