This affects me too.

Running 2.6.34-lucid (from kernel-ppa) on plain Ubuntu 10.04 i386. So, I don't think it's kubuntu or amd64 specific. It appears to be 2.6.34 on lucid specific. Xorg is using the nouveau driver but appears to be sick -- I assume this error is causing slowness in 2D acceleration.

(I had to upgrade to 2.6.34 to get away from an odd drm problem with the ATI ES1000 that is built into a Dell SC440.)

With an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file containing Driver "fbdev", I get the above FBIOPUTCMAP errors. lucid, intel GM45 chipset. (I just removed the xorg.conf file, and the intel driver is being used, so I have a work around.)

It's hardly a fresh lucid install if you're using a 2.6.34 kernel.. nouveau in 2.6.34 and higher does not work with the nouveau userspace in lucid, you need to update libdrm/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to use it and if you update them they will no longer work with a 2.6.33 and older kernel. Those error messages only happen when you're using fbdev with KMS, and they are harmless.

In that case, my install must come from the stone age.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Apparently up-to-date with respect to updates.

How do you manage to get a kernel > 2.6.32 from a lucid install?
