Hi Everyone,
I have an ancient D800 with a mobililty geared Geforce 4 video card.
The laptop is mostly useless, but since it's still working and browsing
the net on it is OK, I wanted to install F17 on it.
In went F17, out went the video. :( The nouveau driver gave me a screen
full of artifacts and a block for a cursor. Large sections of the
screen were unreadable.
I tried to use the proprietary legacy drivers from Nvidia, but the
installer bombs out. It used to work on F15 until a kernel update broke
it. Something changed and that change made it all the way to F17's
kernels.
Does anyone know why the nouveau driver isn't working for me? Are there
any workarounds?
I'd also appreciate hearing about any workaround's for the proprietary
installer error, if any.
Regards,
Ranbir
try setting nouveau.noaccel=1 on your linux line in your grub/grub2 config. That's
the only way it will work for me.
