Bug#733241: nouveau breaks Xsession with a NVIDIA Corporation GF108
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:1.0.1-5
X-Debbugs-CC: llangrean@hotmail.com
The
PC has two cards: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] [10de:0de1]
(rev a1) and 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo Banshee [121a:0003] (rev
03). The full lspci output is attached at the end of this email.
In
a Debian 6, the nouveau driver is not installed in the default
installation and the Xsession works. In Debian 7, the nouveau driver is
installed by default and the Xsession doesn't work: the system boots,
but at the moment when KDM or GDM should start, the only thing that the
screen shows is only the mouse pointer as a cross. You can do "Ctrl Alt
Fx" to operate in real console... but if you move the mouse pointer, it
moves but "Ctrl Alt Fx" stops working and you only can do a force
poweroff or reboot. The only solution is a "apt-get purge nouveau*" to
force to use the generic driver, and then the Xsession works (is not KDM
or GDM specific bug).
Thank you very much!
