Bug#638349: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: Fails with nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS] (rev a1)

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <kingsley@loaner.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 2.4.26-1
Severity: normal


Thanks for trying to provide an open source driver
for nVidia graphics cards.

I tested nouveau with a G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200
GS] (rev a1).

I 

    installed the package,
    
    changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf's driver to "nouveau", and

    restarted X.

Unfortunately, it got nowhere.

I do not recall seeing anything noteworthy in
/var/log/xorg.log.

nVidia's proprietary driver seems to work OK.

Thanks,
Kingsley
