command line level resolution extremely large and off center with RIVA TNT video card

[willz06jw]

Let me start by saying thanks for your work on this great free product.

Info on my problem:
-My video card is a RIVA TNT PCI card.
-I installed command-line-only Ubuntu from the Alternate install CD.
-It displayed correctly when I used an S3 PCI (AKA McFlicker) video card.
-I am using Ubuntu 9.04
-The characters display perfectly before Ubuntu loading begins
-I am able to at least see the whole screen if I force grub to load vga=261 (VESA 256 color mode).

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
thanks for reporting this bug, two questions are left for me:
Which driver do you use for this GPU? Have you nvidia-glx-71 installed (which looks like the correct package for this GPU)

Thanks
Markus

I installed nvidia-glx-71 using apt-get and I still have the problem after reboot.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
