Public bug reported: Per bug 616394, xorg-1.9 is incompatible with the nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 driver packages that are currently in Maverick. These are the proprietary drivers in Ubuntu for Nvidia hardware prior to the GeForce 6000 series.
Perhaps a "Breaks: nvidia-96, nvidia-173" or some such line could be added to the xserver-common control file to keep the X.org 1.7 installation from Lucid intact during an upgrade to Maverick. ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 drivers in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server 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
