Boot with nouveau.modeset=0 parameter or create a file in /etc/modprobe.d that blacklists the nouveau module (see modprobe.conf(5) for details). Create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf or modify the existing one to use the nv driver: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Section "Device" Identifier "n" Driver "nv" EndSection --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
