I can confirm the same behavior on a Shuttle X SN41g2 system with an AMD XP2400+ processor, and the Nvidia chipset with an onboard MX420 - I tried nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy and eventually got so frustrated that I've switched to using the 'nv' driver.
System was running various NVidia drivers under Fedora Core 1 for many years, and I can confirm that I was able to use this exact graphics card with Nvidia closed source drivers with no problems. I love nvidia graphics cards, but I hate their drivers. One great thing about Linux is that old drivers keep getting support updates and enhancements. I'd argue that Linux in general has better device driver support for older hardware than Windows. If NVidia wants to have a closed source driver... well I can't stop them, but I wish that they would at least do us the favor of continuing to support all of their old cards in the *CURRENT* drivers. RIght now, we have 3 versions of closed source nvidia drivers - legacy, regular, and new. Just give us one driver and keep it all current. That was supposed to be what the Nvidia "UNIFIED" driver model was about, right? -- nvidia restricted driver geforce4 MX440 montior fails at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
