So upstream is likely not going to take this patch in time for karmic, they would rather focus upon getting the X server to be able to fallback later in the detection process.
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-September/002019.html I would like to propose carrying this patch (or at least a variation of this patch) for karmic, with the intention of dropping it during karmic+1 or karmic+2, basically whenever upstream would have the xserver more gracefully allowing falling back onto another driver. I don't expect regressions in doing this, but if there was going to be any regression, the worst would be user's with the device ID's 00f0->00ff and 02e0->02e4 not being able to boot into the 'nv' driver, and falling back to VESA. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Assignee: Bryce Harrington (bryceharrington) => (unassigned) -- 'nv' is selected when no xorg.conf is present even if it doesn't support the nvidia hardware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385658 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
