I've got the same graphics card and I'm experiencing exactly the same problem with the nouveau driver under 10.04
When I boot the ubuntu-desktop ISO I get a 'messed' up version of the desktop of a previous boot of karmic. The system locks up and the only way out is through Alt-SysRq. Even just booting to the terminal with the 'single' option to grub I get: nouveau 0000:00:05.0 GPU Lockup - switching to software fbcon I managed to get 10.04 'working' by installing it from the mini.iso, blacklisting vga16fb and nouveau and installing nvidia-current. Don't know if it could be related but mine has a problem with S3 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/390158 -- Error with Nouveau 10.04 driver with nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] (rev a2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
