Bug Description

I have a PC with an old Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 that was running 9.10 just fine. But the 10.04 live CD don't recognize the video card since boot (the monitor says it isn't connected to the computer).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please run the command 'apport-collect 571508' which will attach necessary information for debugging this as an Xorg problem.

You can boot the system with the "text" boot-options, also try the "nomodeset" option. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/NonGraphicalBoot for more information on booting in non-graphics mode.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rodrigo,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 571508

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 571508 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug xorg

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

Hello Bryce,

Actually this bug was reported in Lucid. It is still happening. The only way I can start the live session is by using the nomodeset option in menu. After the text boot, Gnome starts normally (only the theme is a little mixed with gnome`s default theme).

Regards,

Rodrigo

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.
