nouveau gives errors with TNT2, NV works fine.

[AJenbo]

Binary package hint: xorg

When installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a machine with a Nvidia TNT2, the machine will start up with the following warnings:

(EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error allocating scannout buffer: -122
(WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
(WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
(WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETSTATE failed: Bad file descriptor
ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log

The excact VGA model:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] [10de:002d] (rev 15)

Uninstalling Nouveau makes it switch to using NV and solves the problem.

Unfortunatly the guy who has this issue reports that he can't figure out how to make a launchpad account.

AJenbo, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
