Bug#608343: installation-reports: nouveau makes display unusable (GeForce 5200 FX)



reassign 608343 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
thanks

Quoting Sam Morris (sam@robots.org.uk):

> As soon as the 'nouveau' kernel module is loaded, the display only shows 'video

> 
> Creating a blacklist entry in /etc/modprobe.d for the nouveau module is not
> sufficient to prevent it from being loaded.
> 
> Putting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.modeset=0" in /etc/default/grub and running
> update-grub prevents nouveau from operating, however Xorg falls back to the
> vesa module rather than nv, making the system very slow to use.


Reassigning to the nouveau X driver. That may belong to the kernel
package but X maintainers will know this better than the installer
team..:)
