First run $ modprobe nvidiafb $ modprobe nouveau # gives Module '=off' not found. ... or something like that.
I have manually installed all the modules looking at '/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep $ grep nouveau /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko: kernel/drivers/platform/x86/mxm-wmi.ko kernel/drivers/platform/x86/wmi.ko kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko Each individual line works with 'modprobe', but not nvidia. Then I have to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart' and then I have the nouveau drivers recognized. Now, you can look at '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' and see why your modes are rejected. Run through this link to manually add resolutions. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using- xrandr.html Lesson: Don't change to 'nouveau' from the 'nvidia binaries' if you hit this bug. If you did, then maybe the above helps. My display is still flakey; no doubt because of the modeline I have to cook up now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1182801 Title: systemd-udevd[1440]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/1182801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
