This is still broken for me, here is a snippet of my Xorg.0.log file that causes X to fail to start:
(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 1.0-9755 Mon Feb 26 23:23:13 PST 2007 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0 (WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X GPU installed in this (WW) NVIDIA(0): system is supported through the NVIDIA 1.0-96xx Legacy (WW) NVIDIA(0): drivers. Please visit (WW) NVIDIA(0): http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more (WW) NVIDIA(0): information. The 1.0-9755 NVIDIA driver will ignore this (WW) NVIDIA(0): GPU. Continuing probe... (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found The NVIDIA 1.0-96xx legacy drivers have not made it into the repositories yet. Anyone with a GeForce4 card will have their X broken, and unless they remove nvidia-glx and downgrade to an earlier version of nvidia-glx- legacy they will not be able to start X. New users will not be able to accomplish this on their own. If this is because Feisty is still in Beta from then this is understandable and expected. If however this is just like any other upgrade then there is a problem with the process used to decide when a new version of the nvidia drivers is made available. 1) Users must be warned that they should switch to the legacy drivers. Doing this automatically would be preferable but possibly difficult. 2) More importantly the legacy drivers should be pushed to the repos at the same time. This is a project management issue more than a technical one. Right now the optimal drivers for GeForce4 cards do not exist in the ubuntu repositories, regardless of how they should be installed. ** Tags added: geforce4 nvidia -- nvidia-glx upgraded ahead of nvidia-glx-legacy https://launchpad.net/bugs/97332 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
