Fixed it by grabbing the latest GIT of the driver then patching with this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57023
The patched version on the git removes a reference to xaa. It loads but gives a black screen. This is one patch (required) has already been added to the git repository but is not in the ubuntu repository, yet. http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/11987/ This second patch fixes it so it 'works'. There still must be some reference to xaa, because it shows up in the log file. $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep xaa [ 60.751] (II) Loading sub module "xaa" [ 60.751] (II) LoadModule: "xaa" [ 60.754] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module xaa [ 60.754] (II) UnloadModule: "xaa" [ 60.754] (II) Unloading xaa [ 60.754] (EE) NEOMAGIC: Failed to load module "xaa" (module does not exist, 0) ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #57023 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57023 ** Attachment added: "driver with patch applied" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-neomagic/+bug/1077741/+attachment/3555707/+files/neomagic_drv.so.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-neomagic in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077741 Title: driver does not load, undefined symbol NEO_Sync To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-neomagic/+bug/1077741/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
