** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau I'm not using the nouveau PPA. Recently nouveau arrived in the lucid repository, and was working fine for me (well done!). But after a recent update, when gdm starts I get the nv driver, not nouveau. In Xorg.0.log I see: [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau" I discovered the following work around: (1) stop gdm (2) modprobe lbm_nouveau (3) start gdm Doing "modprobe lbm_nouveau" causes the screen to go black, so I actually do "sleep 1m; start gdm" in another console before doing the modprobe. The result is that gdm starts up with the nouveau driver, and all is well. Here is the initial part of a diff of Xorg.0.log, between the one that failed to load nouveau, and the other that did load nouveau: 16c16 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Feb 26 14:44:07 2010 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Feb 26 14:45:57 2010 23c23 < (++) using VT number 7 --- > (--) using VT number 7 107c107 < (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) --- > (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) 207,208c207,214 < [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau" < (EE) [drm] failed to open device --- > drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) > drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 > drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 > drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) > drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8 > drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:01:00.0 > (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 0.0.15 > (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa 216,225c222,315 < (II) Loading sub module "vbe" < (II) LoadModule: "vbe" < (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libvbe.so < (II) Module vbe: vendor="X.Org Foundation" < compiled for 1.7.5, module version = 1.1.0 < ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 < (II) Loading sub module "int10" ...
