OK, nv driver seems to work on 64 bits - clicking on Test produced the screen just as it should look.
I go a whole bunch of problems though: * Trackpoint didn't work. If the driver is included on the live CD, that's a bug. I had to make do without a usable mouse because the touchpad is disabled in BIOS (I keep inadvertently touching the touchpad, so it's unusable for me). * Test mode for new screen settings could not be aborted without a functional mouse: the dialog does not get focus, so you can't Abort or Confirm with the keyboard. I consider that a bug. * Setting the nv driver without going through test mode gave me a blank screen but no system freeze. Ctl-Alt-F1 worked without a hitch. So at least that part of the problem ist gone, but it is not working either. I postponed fiddling with monitor and resolution settings in the hopes of making it work, until somebody says it's worth the effort. * Reboot went through some of the proper motions but then just froze the machine, so I power cycled it (forgot to test the CapsLock key, unfortunately). This may be due to problems with other drivers, the 32-bit Gutsy live CD, for example, would blank the screen during boot unless given the noapic nolapic chant on the boot parameter line (not needed anymore, don't know which of the various changes of the last days had that effect). Not sure how to proceed with these observations, but I'm pretty sure they should be passed on to whoever is doing Hardy QA. I'd report bugs myself, but I found it a bit difficult to identify the right module for each report, so I'm a bit reluctant. -- Lenovo R61: nv driver freezes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185873 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
