Problem:  Corrupt display on boot with the -nv driver on a GeForce 7900 GT since at least 2.1.8, and persists through 2.1.10.  Setting the HWCursor option changes the behavior, but still leaves screen blanked.


Original Report:
"I have nvidia geforce 7900 and an acer AL1916W widescreen monitor. Its native resolution is 1440*900.  I get strange colors all over my screen when I run Hardy Alpha 5 Live CD. See attached picture.  Ubuntu 7.04 Live (-nv 2.0.0) and before that doesn't even show anything on my screen, my monitor says unsupported resolution.
However, it works in safe mode (-vesa)."

lspci:

 nv_driver.c lists that it supports the card:
  { 0x10DE0291, "GeForce 7900 GT" },

Tested:
Feisty      (-nv 2.0.0):  Fails with "unsupported resolution"
Hardy-Beta  (-nv 2.1.8):  Fails showing issue
Hardy       (-nv 2.1.8):  Fails showing issue
Intrepid-a4 (-nv 2.1.10): Fails showing issue

Setting Option "HWCursor" "false" - Fails with "unsupported resolution"
