Bug#687372: xserver-xorg-video-modesetting: Unable to make it working on Nvidia GeForceTi4200 NV28

2012-09-12 Thread r.ductor
Package: xserver-xorg-video-modesetting
Version: 0.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Dell Inspiron 8500 with GeforceTi4200. Freshly installed wheezy I have no 
nvidia legacy drivers installed. Nouveau does not work (bug reported elsewhere) 
and I'm trying to use modesetting.

I in /etc/X11/org.conf I tried 

Driver "modesetting"

and at boot I get only the tty (Xorg.log attached, modesetting was loaded but 
did not start). Then I tried 
Driver "modesetting"
BusID "pci::01:00.0"
and modesetting seems to start (see code listed below) but I get a completely 
screwed up X. It is likely that it is my fault and not a bug, but post this 
because there is no doc on modesetting around.

Thanks for your time,
ric

Bug#589547: xserver-xorg-video-nv: (EE) NV: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load: no xorg after kernel upgrade

2010-07-18 Thread r.ductor
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:2.1.17-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi after full-upgrading from 2.6.32-trunk-486 to 2.6.32-5-486 (and touching
nothing on the config)  the xserver is no more loaded due to a nv-driver/module
problem:

(EE) NV: Kernel modesetting driver in use, refusing to load
(EE) No devices detected.

Do not know what means  Kernel modesetting driver, in trunk all was fine. (I'm
writing my report from the trunk kernel). My card is a GeForce FX 5200. Here's
a log of the attempts.

fermi:~# cat /root/kdm.log.2010-07-18.1727

Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages
(i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the
daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which
file(s) it is logged. PAM logs messages related to authentication to
authpriv.*.
