Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
Using the nvidia-glx-new driver on a GeForce Go 6100 causes unsable tty's (see attached image).
The problem exists since starting X server. First tries with the framebuffer settings (removing from blacklists etc) didn't help, and the problems don't occur when removing the nvidia-glx-new driver and using the nv driver.
The messed up screen appears in:
- each terminal (STRG+ALT+F1 to F6)
- when resuming from screensaver in gnome
- when shutting down the notebook (instead of splash screen).
Some hopefully useful information:
~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI-X GeForce Go 6100 (rev a2)
xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Standardgrafik
Driver "nvidia"
Busid "PCI:0:5:0"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
sorry, I forgot: I'm using Hardy Heron RC...
