Support for the 8400M GS was only added to the nv driver a few weeks ago (see http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video- nv.git;a=commit;h=d0d4e37accc697108e03c2ee7fdc0edf1f309620 ). Graphics cards that are "new" (less than 9 months old) tend to be poorly supported by already released Linux distributions (apart from Intel graphics cards as Intel release drivers for their cards BEFORE the hardware reaches retail)...
another2: Bug reports can only be about a single issue. Is this about the lack of open source nv support for your card OR the lack of binary driver support? If this is about lack of binary driver support in Gutsy then this is effectively a duplicate of Bug #120943 . (The sound problem is a separate issue again. I have a feeling that it is has already been filed in another bug report perhaps by yourself. If it wasn't you who filed it then it is probably a good idea to search launchpad for a recent bug to do with nvidia sound and add yourself to the subscriber list) ** Summary changed: - nvidia binary locks up system + nvidia binary locks up system with an NVIDIA 8400M GS card -- nvidia binary locks up system with an NVIDIA 8400M GS card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127395 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
