Without modeset=0 the screen gets scrambled. With it, it is correct. That's at least minimum functionality. I tried agpmode=0 but it didn't work. Also, modinfo didn't list a parameter by that name, so I chose the one that looked closest. I don't really know what happened, but I'm not demanding w.r.t. high-speed rendering, so I'm content. As other posters have mentioned, I'll be glad to do any tests you'd like, since I have the hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653714 Title: Garbage on X display w/ Dell D800 wuxga & nouveau driver (Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP rev a1 [NV28]) Status in Nouveau Xorg driver: Unknown Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Debian: New Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau I have a Dell D800 laptop with high resolution screen (1920x1200) that was working fine with Ubuntu 10.04. I performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 which appears to use the nouveau driver. The screen now displays garbage, more pronounced on icons, where text seems to render fairly well. I've attached a picture of the screen to illustrate. While I've tried to intall the Nvidia drivers, this problem manifested from the initial install of the 10.10 alternate RC disc, and remains present with all packages updated as of 10/1 where no alternate driver install was attempted. Please let me know what information I might be able to provide that would be useful in fixing this problem.
