Public bug reported:
Hi,
using the livecd (quantal alpha 3), I can't get a desktop display.
I tried to install using the alternate CD. Install setup works, but on first
boot, nouveau is used and can't get the video card to work, so the X server is
re-spawned every few seconds, but no desktop (not even a login screen)...
Xorg doesn't fallback to vesa mode...
I had to switch to console (ctrl+alt+f1) and install nvidia driver
(nvidia-current-updates) then reboot to get a working xorg.
Shouldn't xorg fallback to vesa mode if nouveau can't be used?
I tried to boot on an old 10.04 LTS cdrom, and I can get a working desktop (at
least the display ;-) ) in vesa mode with it!
Regards.
