The kwin issue may be due to trying to use "vesa" (which doesn't support compiz, which kwin requires afaik). But report that separately as it's not an -nv issue.
If you want the -vesa crash investigated as well, file a new bug for that, with a full backtrace of the xserver when running with "vesa" (directions for this are available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing). As far as it not using -nv, it looks like the GeForce 7100 is not listed as supported in -nv yet (despite what 'man nv' seems to claim). So yes this hardware will require using -nvidia for now. You can see what pci id's that the -nv driver supports by looking in /usr/share/xserver- xorg/pci/nv.ids. You can also try forcing it by inserting "10de016a" into that file; no idea if that will work though. Anyway, that third issue is indeed an -nv problem, so we'll focus on that for this bug report. ** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu Jaunty) Sourcepackagename: xserver-xorg-video-nv => kdebase-workspace Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Assignee: Bryce Harrington (bryceharrington) => (unassigned) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu Jaunty) Sourcepackagename: kdebase-workspace => xserver-xorg-video-nv ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #20375 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20375 ** Also affects: xorg-server via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20375 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- jaunty: Kubuntu OEM enduser setup fails with black screen (nv driver fails) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
