Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I'm not using the nouveau PPA. Recently nouveau arrived in the lucid repository, and was working fine for me (well done!).
But after a recent update, when gdm starts I get the nv driver, not nouveau. In Xorg.0.log I see:
[drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"
I discovered the following work around: (1) stop gdm (2) modprobe lbm_nouveau (3) start gdm
Doing "modprobe lbm_nouveau" causes the screen to go black, so I actually do "sleep 1m; start gdm"
in another console before doing the modprobe. The result is that gdm starts up with the nouveau
driver, and all is well.
Here is the initial part of a diff of Xorg.0.log, between the one that failed to load nouveau, and the
other that did load nouveau:
