I thought the upgrade would have taken care of that, and I thought it was there since 'lsmod' did show nouveau modules.
Anyway, that explains the slight difference in symptoms between my Squeeze installation and the various live cd's I tried. With xserver-xorg-video-nouveau properly installed, I do not get the "GPU lockup" message. I do see this in Xorg.0.log, however: AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/nouveau_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) I googled it and it's not clear whether or not this is related to the vertical stripes I see on my screen (with a mouse pointer and nothing else). I plan to file a bug, but I want to do it intelligently. What's a better title than "Messed up graphics on a GeForce FX 5200"? -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
