On my Squeeze system, the nouveau driver isn't working. dmesg showsthis message:GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon lspci shows my video card as this: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) I do have an onboard video port that I'm not using. Not sure if that's messing things up or not. Any advice? I see several hits on Google, but I haven't found a solution yet. I'm trying to make nouveau work. The proprietary nvidia driver will be my last resort.
I had that lockup message with a nVidia GeForce 8400 GS. I blacklisted nouveau and went with the proprietary driver. Neither nv nor nouveau manage a situation where you have 2 videocards with 2 mice and 2 keyboards for 2 simultaneous users. The proprietary driver does.
