Adding another note. I have found that for some reason, on my system, the missing wfb driver causes X to not start with my custom kernel and compiled nvidia-kernel-source module, while X will start with the generic 2.6.20-14 kernel and the nvidia module from the linux- restricted-modules package (though the Xorg.log file still complains that the wfb driver is not found).
Something definitely changed with nvidia-glx-new and/or the linux- restricted-modules package that cause a compiled version of the nvidia 9755 driver compiled from nvidia-linux-source with a custom kernel to stop working. I can tell that it is probably not the kernel module source, since I still have a compiled kernel and module that _was_ working prior to my upgrade of these modules that no longer works. The real fix is obviously to get the wfb library included, but I wanted to point out that anyone who needs to build a custom kernel and has to use the nvidia-kernel-source package to build a module (e.g. typical Mythtv usage with LIRC support and NVIDIA card - very popular) will have a more serious problem than those using the generic kernel and the linux-restricted-module (which seems for the moment to work). I will attach the Xorg logs showing the generic kernel boot that works and the custom kernel boot that doesn't. -- NVidia driver missing libwfb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
