Using nomodeset disables nouveau entirely, so you won't be able to use the 'nouveau' ddx either. It'd probably work with vesa or something. Things to try: nouveau.noaccel=1 nouveau.agpmode=0 (also in combination) Did this system ever work?

If you boot without the quiet option it should make it much more apparent where things are going wrong. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
