--- Comment #4 from TomG <[email protected]> 2010-05-26 16:26:02 PDT --- I have worked around the problem as follows. Background: The nouveau driver interferes with the probing of nvidia's driver. Going into init 1 or init 3 from init 5 will result in nouveau still being loaded in the kernel. One must boot into init 1 or init 3 before nouveau has a chance to load for the NVIDIA installer to work correctly. Solution: Restart and boot into single mode by appending the capital letter S to grub's kernel line. run the installer as before, ignoring the warning about potential problems with init 1. Verified as a solution in UBUNTU 10.04 LTS and NVIDIA x86-195-32-24. Also, these newer (post 190) drivers have a ignore-EDID option; you can Google the readme of the driver if need be, that should solve these problems. --Tom G. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
