During Ubuntu 7.04 Beta1 installation, Geforce 6600 been detected and assigned video driver "nv" in /etc/xorg.conf

After reboot xorg start and video is garbled. Switching to console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and doing "telinit 1". You can change (sudo vi /etc/xorg.conf ) the video driver from "nv" to "vesa". Invoking "telinit 2" and thus restarting xorg will be fine.

Processor used: Pentium 4
Videocard: BFG Geforce 6600 GT OC 128Meg (AGP video card)

seems the "nv" driver is broken.

Ubuntu should have assigned the "vesa" driver for that videocard.
