I also have a computer with a GeForce2 MX/400 NV11 chip. Booting with linux-image-3.5.0-16-generic (from the official quantal repository) also causes my screen to go to standby mode. It turns on again when the login screen is displayed. As suggested here, I tried two mainline kernels from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.5-quantal/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/ Both mainline kernels keep the screen on. I can see the boot animation (of lubuntu in my case. unity is too slow for me to work with since quantal and the removal of unity-2d). However, the colors of the boot screen seem to be wrong (white text "lubuntu", surrounded by a bright red "shadow"). I don't know if this color issue has to do with this bug, though. Is there anything I can do to contribute to a solution for this bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048261 Title: Blank screen during system startup with Precise/Nouveau To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1048261/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
