udippel, There is a range of motherboard GPUs (C73/C77/C79) that are not supported by the nv driver. I see 2 options for you to try with a Live CD so as not to disturb your system: 1) Add the 10DE0848 id in /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/nv.ids file and restart X. The nv driver may support it after

Mainly FYI, and to Bryce: I am in a similar situation, with an IGP 8300. No, mine is worse: all proprietary drivers crash (-> I took it up with NVIDIA), nv does not support this card (10de0848). So I was betting on nouveau, but it doesn't do the job here, neither. Uwe, who could be helped by a ve

I suspect the alpha code has not handled the situation correctly. I have reproduced the upgrade scenario with 9.04 Beta March 26 and everything works rock solid. Scenario: Upgrading from Intrepid to jaunty when using a restricted driver (177) with a card having a missing device id in nv.ids. Wh

Good news, and so-so news. It would seem as though you were right that installing the restricted driver would solve. this. As root, I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-965741.html sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk And install the first one that comes up.

If it can be avoided, I would prefer not reinstalling the whole distro. It is dual booting with vista, sharing a data partition. Essentially what would be the best, quickest, easiest, and least time consuming process to get back up and running AND help get a fix so this doesn't happen to other p

I am not familiar enough with development on Linux to guide you through the easy way of doing this.

Actually nevermind, I think I'll just keep an eye on the bug list myself, but thanks for the help. Regarding your own card, you should test it manually before we put in a patch for it. It's likely -nv simply will not work on your system, in which case patching it in may not be the best solution.

I think you hit on it that it might be a migration scripting issue. When I was on intepid, I was using the restricted nvida driver (do not remember which one), not -nv and 3D was working perfectly. The problem appears to have been that when I performed the dist-grade, it might have reverted back t

Yes, I was using the nvidia driver because I had installed it within Intrepid. I upgrade to Jaunty from Intrepid, so it kept the driver. I remember when installing Intrepid, it installed without the proprietary driver. Isn't there a way to supress the exisitng driver during the upgrade process?
