[xubuntu] Nouveau video driver on Karmic

view story

http://ubuntuforums.org – I've tried installing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 8100 with GeForce2 Go graphics), and it seems to finish successfully... however, when I boot, I see the splash, it fades away (like it should, I think), but nothing else happens (the system is silent, except for those weird sounds that the system always makes). If I press the power button, the splash fades back in, then out again after a while and the system locks up. I didn't see any logs, so I'll experiment a little more and bring what I find later. In the mean time, is this a known issue? Am I doing something bad in my xorg.conf(below)? Any help/advice would be appreciated. ^.^ xorg.conf: Code: Section "Device" Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2)" Driver "nouveau" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Virtual 1400 1280 EndSubSection Device "nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2)" EndSection Note: If "Device" and "Identifier" don't match, it's because I typed them by hand. They match in the config file. (Hardware)

Extremely slow machine 3 years 16 weeks ago

Hello,

I run F12. Since some days my laptop has become very sluggish. In Mozilla, switching between the tabs takes like seconds instead of fraction of a second. Also minimizing and mximizing windows takes long. Switching between the windows too takes long. Now I can't see the cursor while typing this post.

undue seg fault 3 years 11 weeks ago

In the following program though most of the working part of the program is commented out, it gives seg fault. reducing the value of MAX to say 10000 removes the seg fault. Why is this happening? it should be only 1 MB only. Is 1 MB too big for an array?

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX 1000010
